Taytum Buford(Period 6)- Teacher Arrested

Summary: A high school math teacher is facing an assault charge after video surfaced of her hitting a student at least five times in class. Mary A. Hastings, a 63-year-old geometry teacher at Ozen High School, was arrested and has been placed on paid leave. The cellphone video, recorded by a classmate, shows Hastings swiping papers off the student's desk then slapping him five times. This is ridiculous. This whole thing about authorities thinking they have the higher power and can do whatever they want because they are "bigger" has to stop. Just like when Nixon thought he could get away with the Watergate Scandal, nothing that people do that is bad should go unnoticed.
