Texas middle school student throws teacher to the ground during viral classroom brawl
Disturbing video footage caught a Texas middle school teacher being violently flung to the ground while trying to break up a fight in her classroom.
The brave social studies teacher was seen in now-viral footage getting between two pupils Monday as they brawled near a classroom door at Hurshel Antwine Middle School in El Paso, according to KTSM.
But one of the boys keeps throwing punches, just missing the educator — who he then tosses to the ground next to a wall so he can keep on swinging.
As other horrified kids scream, the teacher remains on the ground as the bigger of the two boys charges at his classmate, continuing to throw punches as the pair then crash into some desks.
“Stop!” she implores the pair when finally back on her feet, with two other female staffers rushing in to help.
“What are you doing?!” one of the other women asks the boys as they finally appear to end the classroom violence.
Principal Patricia Fernandez later wrote to parents to confim that “an altercation occurred among students in a classroom,” according to a copy obtained by KVIA.
“This was an isolated incident between individual students,” she wrote.
“The students involved are being addressed by administration and law enforcement, as appropriate. There was no threat to other students or the campus.”
The disturbing footage is just the latest violence against a teacher to be caught on camera.
Last month, a North Carolina high school student was seen slapping his teacher twice across the face in a profanity-filled classroom tantrum.
The rage-filled youngster, identified only as a minor, confronted the educator inside Parkland High School in Winston-Salem, where he violently attacked her, according to video posted to social media.
He was charged with one count of communicating threats and two counts of misdemeanor assault, the Forsyth Sheriff’s Office announced.
