A California teacher was arrested for punching a 14-year-old student last week — and now his colleagues are defending him because the teen called him the N-word before the attack, according to reports.
As of Monday, a GoFundMe page created by a woman working in the same Los Angeles district as 64-year-old Maywood Academy High School teacher Marston Riley reached just over half the $50,000 goal.
Police held Riley overnight at the Los Angeles County Jail on Friday on suspicion of child abuse. They released him Saturday after he posted $50,000 bail, CBS Los Angeles reported. He was scheduled to be arraigned Nov. 30, authorities said.
Cellphone video of the incident shows Riley standing face to face with the student at the front of the class before throwing a punch at him. The student even punches Riley in retaliation, according to the footage — which also shows Riley repeatedly punching the student until he ends up on the classroom floor.
Even as a female campus officer appears to intervene, Riley continues to pummel the student.
The teen, who has not been publicly identified, was treated for mild to moderate injuries at a local hospital and released, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office.
Students told KTLA the fight began when Riley asked the student to leave the classroom because he wasn’t wearing a proper uniform.

This man was the father this kid needed to have given him an ass-kicking to years ago.
It may cost him his job, but I get it. Mouthy little MF’er
“Just the fact that he’s hitting a child — it’s not right,”
What’s “not right” is that their are too many moms, and not enough dads.
Actually student is Latino
I kinda like the idea of the schools making it OK to punch some punk.
Excellent point. BTTT
Upon watching the video, I almost agree with the punching of this punk
Dim vs dim?
You are not allowed to punch someone for calling you bad word. Any word. You can decide you’re pissed off enough to accept the consequences, but don’t expect there not to be consequences just because the word really makes you mad.
Don’t forget. A student *of color* can use the N word word freely amongst his peers. God forbid that a cracker uses it, however.
{{{Raining hell}}}
I would agree for any city schools. But it does depend on the locale.
That being said I looked into possibly teaching as I’m getting burned out in the corporate rat race and determined it would be better to risk buying my own business. I’d never be able to deal with the political and PC nonsense - it’s much worse then the already overbearing office environments.
Black kid called me Whitey, can I beat the hell out of him?...No, you Chink.
Calling someone the “N” word - or any other word for that matter - does not give the target license to beat up the person saying it. But the person saying it should not be surprised if they end up getting punched or beaten for saying it.
Maywood Academy High School
Black people refer to each other using the N word all the time. It’s a term of endearment.
Maybe the student was just “identifying” as a Black student.
I can guarantee that if a black student referred to the teacher using that word, that the teacher would have hugged him rather than slug him.
Hugs not slugs.
Dim ligic. Dims want bring in more of these kids. Caravan good. Trump bad. Vote Dim.
To defend him is to dehumanize him. Says he doesn’t have the ability to refrain from wrong behavior.
If liberalism weren’t stupid, it would recognize this.
Imagine what the feral savages would have done if the teacher were white.
As a college professor I’ve often wondered how I would handle a similar situation of an out of control student. I hope that I would simply remind that student that I hold the power of my grade book in my hands. But I teach college, not high school.
Good observation.
“The ‘tell’ is in the name of the school. If a relatively new school has ‘Academy’ in the name, it’s a tipoff as to the kind of students it contains.”
Yes, and if there’s a “Math” or “Science” in the name, then you know it’s really a s-hole.
