Something is being left out of the story. The kid was probably sent to the office with a referral after his “hallway behavior”. The only way you get handcuffed and lead out is if you willfully refuse to move/obey the administrator and the campus police have to be called.
To be honest, if we could just paddle today in public schools, 90% of all “SPED/disciplinary” issues would cease. For you non-teachers who were in school 20 years plus ago....you’d be absolutely shocked at what kids can do in public schools these days.
This should be brought up exposed. Embarrass the heck out out of this kid. Like they did with Ksppernick.
I agree, something else happened besides the burping. It is crazy how the media is twisting this. I am surprised the school or the police are not correcting the story. No way he was handcuffed for burping. More than likely he was handcuffed for disobeying an officers instructions. And that had to come after disobeying the principles instructions.
I can tell you if I was in school if I was burping in class I would rather be handcuffed and arrested than face my Dad or Mom. In fact I would have taken the paddle instead of going home because the whipping at home was a lot worse......
If you truly believe that you have not ever encountered a person in authority who abuses his discretion just because he knows it usually will not be challenged.
As for paddling, I think too many weird situations could result in today’s degenerate public education system.
