Kyla Thomas (1st Period)- Cops: Teacher told girl to kill herself, forced other kids to bully her
Summary: Two teachers in Louisiana was recently accused of telling a student to kill herself and threatened other students to fail them if they didn't bully the girl. The students said that if they didn't try to fight the girl, the teachers would not help them with their classwork. School surveillance cameras that caught a teacher pushing the girl onto the school bleachers on two occasions according to police. "Students should not have to attend school and be bullied especially by teachers that are there for their education, guidance and safety," said Sheriff Guidroz.
Analysis: This story is really sad. No one should have to go through at school, especially with children. There should be precautions that should be taken to ensure things like this don't happen. In relation to history, this reminds me of child abuse and how the labor of the children was abused in younger times.

ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely disgusting that adults could push their hatred onto a child and encourage children to do the same. I hope they realize how wrong they were and receive appropriate punishment.
