A Texas English teacher lost his cool and started physically abusing a high school student.
In front of the student’s classmates, who started documenting the horrifying incident on their cellphone cameras, the Humble High School instructor at the school outside of Houston, Texas, lost his temper to the point that he started physically abusing the child. The tenth-grade victim was beaten so badly that he had to be taken to the emergency department. And after he recovered from the wild attack, he was then given crutches in order to be able to walk and move around.
The English teacher was seen on tape throwing the kid to the ground, slamming him down, and tossing a table over in his wrath during the assault. While other students tried to step in to stop the English teacher from abusing the boy, he slammed the lad up against the wall. The violent teacher was given a leave of absence. However, in spite of the student attack, it is not clear if he is still receiving taxpayer funds.
Elvert Bolden, the victim’s father, wants the teacher fired and forbidden from ever again teaching students. The father, who merely wants the best for his son, found the altercation to be quite “upsetting.” According to him, the teacher started hitting the youngster in class because he was talking too loudly.
The victim was clothed in black, while the teacher was sporting a purple sweater during the altercation. In the video, the teacher grabs the student’s arm and sends them both toppling over a table when the student appears to escape his tormenter at one point after the two were seen grappling with each other. And as a result of the teacher’s assault on the student, chairs started flying all over the classroom.
Other students tried to stop the teacher from killing the boy by pulling them apart, with the victim also putting up his hands to indicate that he wasn’t resisting. As the teacher continued assaulting the student and appeared to put both of his hands around the student’s neck at one point. But instead, he doubled down on his assault, pushing the boy against the wall, and refusing to let the boy go.
The instructor’s assault on the student was deemed “unacceptable” behavior for a teacher by Humble Independent School District. In a statement released to the public, the district said:
“This should not have happened. It is unacceptable; the teacher has been put on leave. An investigation is underway, and it is unlikely he will be returning when the investigation concludes.”
No teaching academy teaches teachers to beat their students in this way, at least not in 2022. According to the district, which said that the “used physical force to try and get a student to take a seat and listen.”
The teacher’s actions were “unacceptable and contrary to standards and expectations for all employees,” the district continued. “The district has a process for addressing serious concerns, which includes reporting to law enforcement and full cooperation with any law enforcement investigation.”
