“Are we saying that teachers cannot fight back?”

Teachers should be free to wail away in whatever manner pleases him/her. Absolutely. To heck with any sense of proportionally./sarc

If that teacher is female she should join the UFC. She punches like a man.

Why does our forum treat this in such a way?

Because we follow logic and reason.

Are we saying that teachers cannot fight back?

Stomping on someone's head is not "fighting back". It is attempted murder.

Nice to know that you are ok with it as long as it is a "teacher" doing it.

I somehow doubt you would be so tender toward a student doing the exact same action.

I now read that the student said the teacher was choking her. That sounds credible when you look at the video. Start at the 0:27 mark =>

One reason for her to be afraid was the teacher’s initial lie that she said the N-word. That was her excuse for the beating - that the child said a racist slur.

Problem is: there are liberals who consider a white saying that word justification for violence. And other blacks at the school would use that excuse to beat her up as a “racist”.

Never mind the teacher probably lied about the girl saying it. She used that excuse first, then said the girl hit her first. As if the first excuse didn’t stand up to scrutiny (and wasn’t corroborated by other interviewed witnesses), so she switched to “it was self-defense, she hit me”.

Even if the girl slapped her, a beating like that is excessive force. And all the witnesses are saying was that the girl was laughing and joking with friends, and when the teacher told them to stop, the girl said don’t speak to me like that.

Disrespectful? Yes. Worthy of a beating? Never.

Reading her words, it’s clear she’s a Democrat raised by Democrat parents and that she has listened to Democrats (prob C-Spam, CNN, etc.) all her life. Poor kid will be shocked if she ever ventures out of Austin.

“Read the article...”

____________

Better yet, watch the video starting at 0:27 =>

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPo1JQaPhhM

Do you think the girl was entitled to exercise self defense at that point?

It also looks like the teacher has her hands on the student.

Sure looks like it. Just about the first frame in the video and the hand is getting ready to strike the teacher who is provoking this response.

There’s a reason we aren’t hearing a last name, seeing a face, etc.

There sure is. The law that protects the identity of minors. Duh!

I can make some guesses based on your response. They are mutual exclusive. Did you work in a failing school? Are you married to a teacher in a failing school? Are you black? Are you a cop?

“Look at the 16 second mark. The “girl” throws a first punch. But what I noticed is that “Savannah” the girl sure looks like a male. I think the student is one of those damned psycho trannies.”

)))))))))))

Yes she did but BUT notice also the Teacher had her by the shirt collar and was shouting in her face. That is not acceptable by any schools district that I know of. The student was slapping at her to get her away from her.

Also watched this video there are those who think she is female just tomboyish.

there is the video below watch and tell get another look at the fight...

Teacher white. Student black. Days of National outrage.
Teacher black. Student white. Minor altercation. Nothing to see here. Move on.

Yes see my post 35 the teacher does in fact have her hands on the student before the student slaps her.

Tiffani Shadell, the Cleveland Browns are calling. They need a replacement for Myles Garrett at defensive end.

In all seriousness, assuming something horribly unfortunate befalls Ms. Shadell, and the State of Texas were to charge somebody with a crime for perpetrating said tragic misfortune. If I were on the jury, I would be a guaranteed vote for acquittal on all charges.

First punch. Looks like the teacher didn't want to take her left hand off the students throat, just rotated her shoulder up to try to avoid the punch

Anyone remember the term 'going postal'... it had to do with US Postal workers going nuts... and violent.

That's years behind us.

School shooting are still blamed on the kids - maybe it's the violence in the schools that's causing our kids to break. Ignorant violent 'teachers' could be the root cause of the horrors we're seeing...

When I was young we all had stories about a great teacher than changed our lives for the better. Young people NEVER talk about 'teachers' that way in our time. The violence in our schools is a nightmare - and it's kept quiet because the teacher's union has an 'in' with the corrupt liberal press.
