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.

Are the lefties going to say that violence is justified for “racial insensitivity”?

I bet they actually believe it even if they won’t admit it.

“Laney’s letter urged parents to talk to their children about “civil discussion and behavior,” confronting conflict without violence and exercising caution in what they post on social media.”

In FORESTVILLE? Not a chance.

“Akwana Walker, who is black...”

Well, I didn’t see that coming!

Well, you should have seen it possibly coming. After all, Walker is a common name among American blacks.
