Teacher Slugs Middle Schooler Who Mocked His Favorite Football Team
Deadspin ^ | 11/14/13 | Samer Kalaf

Posted on 11/15/2013 9:29:59 AM PST by Straight Vermonter

Texas middle school student Reginald Wells was knocked out with a punch to the face by a teacher last Friday after Wells cracked a joke about the teacher's favorite football team.

Wells, who attends Willie Ray Smith Middle School in Beaumont, says he stopped to talk to an assistant teacher from his math class and joked about the teacher's favorite football team, pushing the teacher's shoulder after he said the joke. According to another teacher who was in the hallway, the assistant teacher reacted by punching 12-year-old Wells in the face, knocking him out.

From 12News:

"(The principal) said Reginald was punched, in the shoulder, and then hit two times and uppercut, and then slid across the floor," Adrianne [Wells, Reginald's mother,] said. "It weighed heavy on my heart, because I've never put my hands on my son."
Wells, who is four-foot-eleven and 80 lbs., woke up on the floor seconds later with no recollection of what had happened.

The assistant teacher was fired and escorted from the premises, but not arrested. Before being removed, the assistant teacher told Reginald, "I can't apologize for what I did, I was just having a bad day and I just snapped."

Adrianne Wells says she plans to file charges against the teacher.

Yes it has.

Schools try to keep molestations quiet and shunt the molester to another school district full of potential victims

I went to a Catholic hs, and about a half dozen of the faculty were priests who were combat chaplains in the Army during WWII.

Great guys, but some of them were pretty hard on the outside, because they had seen carnage and more.
I remember one time a big kid took a swing at one, and the kid wound up with his head putting a dent in the locker door.

Went back a few years ago, after 40 yrs dent is still there, LOL.

I different era for sure.

A different era, you say?

I'll never forget being a kid, transplanted from liberal suburban NY into urban TX schools in the 4th grade... singing songs, in music class, with lyrics like "I am thankful to God... for allowing me to be... an American!"... along with old-time negro spirituals ("Waaaaade, in the water!")... Yeah, just a little bit of culture shock! LOL

I guess the media will report that as if it were a scandal and probably racist too

"I can't apologize for what I did, I was just having a bad day and I just snapped."

I've had bad days and done something later wished I hadn't.

Can't think of a better reason to apologize.

Do you think person should send out a message saying he meant to say he couldn't apologize enough?

Or will that happen when he gets a lawyer

no...actually the media is finally putting the pressure on.

there have also been several teacher sexual assaults that the superintendent used his “discretionary” funds to buy off and silence the family...

the worm is finally turning.....

also...teacher and student are both black....that is why there was not police report initially...they protect their own.....

also....bisd formed their own PD so they don’t have to deal with the city PD...everything is in house....

Schools and colleges should not have their own PD’s because they like to sweep things under the rug, they let some crimes slide and protect some people from being prosecuted.

I had a nun that could do that. She was good for a bloody nose or a black eye, and if you went home with that you got the other eye blackend.

you are absolutely right!

http://setinvestigates.com/central-high-school-cops-hiding-sex-drug-assault-offenses-p462-1.htm

that is a local news site which you have to subscribe to so you will likely only see a short teaser....

mostly it is about how the officers code the reports in such a way that they are never entered into the system so no one...not the chief...not the super....not the STATE OF TEXAS mainly get to see the offenses....the state tracks and categorizes campuses as safe unsafe etc....
