Student Beats Crap Out Of Teacher Over Alleged Racist Remark
By V. Saxena, February 4, 2015.
A student at Forestville High School in Maryland beat the living crap out of an elderly teacher over what he perceived to be a racist remark, reports NBC Washington:
The incident was reported Jan. 29, following a “misinterpretation of a comment in a classroom” at Forestville High School, according to Prince George’s County Schools. Students and parents familiar with the situation say the teacher, who appears beaten and bloody in a photo obtained by News4, made a racially insensitive comment.
What the teacher said unfortunately remains unknown, as per “privacy reasons.” However, a parent who was asked about the incident said that she could “understand the pain and the anger in that student”:
According to the Daily Mail, the student is to be disciplined. Furthermore, school officials sent a letter home to parents and guardians “to inform them of the incident and encourage them to reinforce with their students the importance of conducting themselves in a safe, responsible manner and to seek assistance if they need help resolving conflicts.”
The point being made by school officials is that no student should ever attack a teacher, regardless of what foul statement a teacher makes. Instead a student should report bad behavior to an authority figure.
Question: That a parent said that she could “understand the pain and the anger in that student” – is that basically the parent condoning the child’s behavior? If so, does this whole incident suggest that the parents in this particular community are not properly doing their jobs!?
