A student punched a Maryland teacher last week over a racially insensitive comment, witnesses say.
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.

The Prince George's County school system would not elaborate on the comment due to privacy reasons.
"If the comment was made that I was told was made, I can understand the pain and the anger in that student," parent Cynthia Leslie said.
The teacher suffered minor injuries and the student is being disciplined.
School officials called the incident isolated, and said they don't see a need for increased security.
"It's really baffling, on both sides. From what I understand, he was really injured," parent Stephanie Benning said.

LOL!
Your points are all correct.... in my humble opinion
This teacher is being trashed in the media. Someone who knows what he actually said needs to stand up and say it.
In the comments towards the end, the person states the teacher asked the student to remove his hoody or he might become a Ferguson victim. Not something to beat the snot out of a teacher.
Don't they call that a, 'Trayvon moment'?
Afraid you mean the story years ago from DC itself.
Some local gov admin made some comment in committee about the council or procedure or fiscal situation being niggardly.
Big bruhaha.
The great schadenfreude was that he was homosexual.
NO mere statement is something to beat the devil out of an old man.
No excuse for this. These low-class trash scum need to get more beatings, themselves.
Reading on the Grio, of course no one knows what was said and more than 1/2 the comments were supportive of the kid hitting the teacher, but someone ‘who was told’ what was said, stated that ‘the student’ said he wanted to be a killer and ‘the teacher said’ he would be a target in Missouri.
The district won’t say, but the teacher or his family/friends could say and stop this “racially charged, racially insensitive, racial slurs” (what is being said in comments and articles) yet NOT A ONE JOURNALIST reports what was said and it is assumed because the teacher was “white” he deserved it and it was racial. The Daily Mail had the teacher’s name, but nothing on what was said except the same speculation and the same quote from Parent, “Cynthia Leslie”.
I had to look this up. I didn’t realize there was more than one incident. I am talking about the Wilmington incident-

They would be in a heap of trouble if we retaliated against their verbage. Why are they a protected species?
What you said.
“Probably because it would portray yet another black male as stupid, violent, aggressive and not fully understanding of standard English vocabulary.”
“Akwana Walker, who is black...”
Well, I didn’t see that coming!
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
There. Fixed it.
If he wants to press charges, and can sue civilly, he could end up owning PG schools. For whatever that’s worth.
Already guessed. Everything is racially insensitive now, when a White utters it.
Might not be much. I can remember when Prince Georges County was was called a bastion of white racism...40 years ago or so. With stuff like segregation etc etc..
PG County is a total mess now. Terribly mismanaged and ghetto in many parts. Huge DemocRat stronghold, of course.
God only knows what insane liberals consider insensitive. Mostly it’s anything to do with the truth.
After some offended ones get plugged, the media will care. And they will get plugged sooner than later.
