A Texas English teacher is being investigated after he was filmed beating a student and pinning him violently against a classroom wall.
The incident took place on Wednesday afternoon at Humble High School, which is located just outside of Houston, and left the 10th grade boy in the emergency room with injuries.
Footage showed the teacher slamming the student to the ground and overturning a table, then holding him against a wall as other students tried to pull them apart.
The teacher was placed on leave, and the boy's father, Elvert Bolden, is demanding he be barred from ever teaching again. Bolden said the 'upsetting' fight started because the teacher thought his son was being too loud.
The shocking clip showed the teacher in a purple sweatshirt grappling the student dressed in black.
The student appeared to be escaping from the teacher, who held him by the arm as the pair toppled over a table and sent chairs flying in the classroom scrum.

I respectfully disagree.
We need to revert back to a world of justified/righteous beat-downs. The pendulum needs to swing back to where people should fear getting their faces punched in.
I’m serious.
Nurses are also getting assaulted.
Your post needs a “like” button.
You would do that over a newspaper article? You need a better lawyer.
“We need to revert back to a world of justified/righteous beat-downs.”
Did you notice that the only person being violent was the teacher?
Even the kids who pulled the teacher off the student did not resort to violence and once the teacher was pulled off the student, the student that was attacked did not retaliate.
The only person who was out of control, the only person that was violent was the teacher.
When I was in school during the 60s (HS class of ‘72), there were lots of WWII and Korea veterans teaching. Most of them were fairly tolerant of ordinary classroom misbehavior, but there were a few teachers that NO student would ever have messed with.
A lot of the classroom discipline back then would get the teacher sued or arrested today, but there were very, very few incidents of violence against teachers.
Black against Hispanic.
Bets?
Those two buggers rile up the red line every time I use them.

Yep. This teacher seriously injured the student. The district said he wanted the student to “sit down and listen.”
Unless the student physically attacked the teacher first before the video started, there was no reason to lay a hand on the kid.
When the young ones are out of control it is incumbent on the men to discipline them and use the amount of force as needed. The student was obviously not getting that from his dad at home.
“Seismic” is another one, but I couldn’t figure out how to use it in my comment.
No, that one doesn’t count. The full mnemonic is:
I before E except after C
Or when sounding like A, as in neighbor or weigh.
“lack of discipline”

Actually I know that but I was just posting for the halibut.
“Violence is never acceptable in a classroom, except to protect someone’s life”
Teachers need to be able to physically defend themselves and other persons.
Physically hitting a verbally out-of-line kid is not acceptable. A “school resource officer” should be called to escort the unruly kid off school premises if 12 or up or to the principal’s office if younger for parental/guardian retrieval.
This country needs to reread the sections on "juvenile delinquents" in Heinlein's Starship Troopers.
I taught in the Hispanic areas of Los Angeles. Not as bad as Compton, but still, pretty stressful. I lasted 16 years, I’m proud to say, but 2020 was the end of it for me.
Just another edited video that conveniently leaves out the beginning of the altercation.
