The tragic descent of American public schools has been succinctly captured by a viral video in which an unruly high school student beats up her teacher as her classmates gleefully laugh and cheer on the senseless violence.
The assault, perpetrated by a ninth-grader, occurred last week at Heritage High School in Conyers, Georgia, according to the Rockdale Citizen.
The Rockdale County Sheriff’s Office and the Rockdale County Public School District are investigating the shocking beatdown, which was posted on social media.
“Rockdale County Public Schools is investigating an incident where a student allegedly attacked a teacher during class today,” the school district said in a statement. “RCPS does not tolerate student violence towards any staff members.
“Students who harm other students or staff will be disciplined according to our Student Discipline Code of Conduct and will be appropriately charged by law enforcement.”
The Twitter account Fight Haven shared two videos of the incident Saturday on Twitter. The first clip had 8.6 million views as of Tuesday afternoon, while the second had 1 million.
The video started with the female student yelling and cursing at her teacher inside a classroom, so it’s unknown what led to the confrontation.
Need to be punished as adults! Juveniles getting off way too easy which only serves to create more juvy crime. The legal system needs to clamp down on them and make the punishment harsher. That’s the only thing that will deter juvenile crime, which is getting way out of hand, because they know nothing will happen to them. They are just as dangerous as adults when they commit these types of crimes.
