TX ELEMENTARY TEACHER ACCUSED OF ATTACKING ELDERLY COUPLE AT SHOPPING MALL
The blaze ^ | 2/25/2011 | Meredith Jessup

A Texas elementary school teacher was put on administrative leave earlier this week after being arrested for assaulting an elderly couple at an Arlington, Texas, shopping mall.

The alleged assault happened Feb. 19 (a Saturday) at The Parks at Arlington mall as Brenda Jones Stafford, a fifth-grade teacher, escorted several of her A.M. Pate Elementary students out on a school field trip.

An elderly couple — Carlton Morgan, 73, and his wife Bette Davis Morgan, 71 — were having coffee at the mall’s food court when Stafford approached them and tried to grab a chair Ms. Davis had her leg propped up on. Stafford claims she needed the chair for one of her students to use. But when Davis refused to let go of the chair, Stafford spit on Ms. Davis, pushed her and even tried to choke her. When Ms. Davis’ husband stepped in to try and stop the fight, Stafford pushed him down, hit him and tried to choke him as well.

Stafford’s students yelled at her, encouraging her to stop attacking Mr. Davis and managed to pull her off him. Stafford and her group left the scene but she was arrested shortly thereafter when police located her in a different area of the mall. She now faces felony assault charges and school officials have placed her on administrative leave while the case is investigated.

It sounds like the kids excercised better judgement than the teacher.

Yet another black racist?

I assume the elderly couple were white...In fact, I’d bet a cup of coffee the elderly couple were white...

Seems to be a lot of black racism and violence lately.

The alleged assault incident is not the teacher’s first run-in with the law. In 1996, Stafford was indicted for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and assault with bodily injury when she threatened a woman at gunpoint. Those charges, however, were later dismissed by prosecutors.

Good Lord....These government schools knee deep in corruptions...Charges dropped because she was black? No doubt!

AP ran an article today about how black Harvard and Yale students were refused entry to a Boston nightclub and how the Attorney General (Martha Coakley) was investigating, which truly was unfortunate, if the charges are proven true.

Here is real bona fide racial elder abuse with dozens of witnesses from a felonius union thug teacher, no less, and not a PEEP from the MSM, save Glenn Beck.

I despise the media.

Jeez, my kids’ school better get with it...my 6th grade daugther’s class took an all-day trip to Little Rock for a tour of the Capitol building. Who knew they could have saved the price of a chartered bus and gone down to Central Mall on Rogers Ave. here in Fort Smith?

(Then again, my kids go to Catholic school and they actually TEACH them stuff like reading, writing, math, and social studies. No condoms on bananas, though.)
