By Brenda Alexander, The Grio

A White student slapped a Black teacher and threw a phone in her direction while cursing and yelling obscenities.

…In the video, a substitute teacher at Castleberry High School in Fort Worth, Texas attempts to make a phone call using a landline. As she does so, a student walks to the front of the classroom and ends the call. The teacher attempts to move the student’s hand from the phone. Shockingly, the student slaps the teacher’s hand and says “deal with me.”…

The student gets her mother on the phone and the berating of the teacher continues, with the student even addressing the teacher’s race, telling her mother, “you want to talk to her cause she’s Black and she’s f—–g pissing me off right now.” She then throws the phone at the teacher as the teacher is sitting behind her desk…

The situation has been turned over to the police due to the “criminal activity” displayed in the video. The Castleberry Independent School District is conducting its own investigation and promises to protect its teachers and ensure proper discipline for the student.
