Brickbat: What the Fork?

A teacher at Katherine Smith Elementary School in Texas has been charged with felony injury to a child after dragging a 5-year-old girl across concrete. The teacher, who wasn't named by the media, reportedly became upset when the girl would not throw away a plastic fork. She was caught on video grabbing the girl by her hair and an arm, causing the girl to fall to the ground. She dragged the girl 30 feet across concrete until they got to a garbage can.

Throwing away a plastic fork? Doesn't that teacher know that plastic forks kill millions of sea turtles every year? You should only use environmentally sustainable paper forks. Kudos to this child trying to teach the adult a lesson.
I get paid over 190$ per hour working from home with 2 kids at home. I never thought I’d be able to do it but my best friend earns over 10k a month doing this and she convinced me to try. The potential with this is endless. Heres what I’ve been doing..

At least it wasn't black top, that would be a 'hate' crime.
You can't call it blacktop anymore. It's women-and-bipoc-top now.
Zero tolerance for weapons in schools means not dragging the trash can to the perp.

That reminds me, I need to pick up some more Maker's Mark today.
I'll waive mine: Do this to my kid and lose a fucking hand. Since they won't release the bitch's name, I assume the Hispanic parents/family/friends have commented similarly.
Seems like a teachable moment. I hate that phrase.
There are no teachable moments in public schools.

When You Come to a Fork in the Road, Take It!
Even plastic forks! This little girl was wise beyond her years!
Oh, FFS, did the fork make it into the garbage can or not?
WTF is wrong with the "reporters" at this magazine? It's like it's pathological.
I'm going to note that this school is in Harris County, which went for Biden in the 2020 election.
Well, this might seem harsh, but remember, teachers always know what;s best for your children.
Well they do represent the government, after all.
'....The teacher was heard talking to the student in Spanish...'; therefore, '...What we have here,.....is a failure to communicate...' and the teacher should not be charged for the student's refusal to be multi lingual in an era of open borders.
She should not have done that and should get in trouble for that although I'm wondering what kind of setup they had for that classroom. Everyone has their breaking point and trying to handle a room full of 5/6 year olds can accelerate that real quick. I wonder if there was an assistant or some other person in there to help the teacher out?
I agree. Each public school teacher needs a dedicated assistant who will do the dragging and spanish speaking for them. I mean C’mon, it’s like we live in Russia, treating our front line heroes like this! Teachers deserve dedicated help when dealing with 5 year olds.
Obviously, the solution is to ban forks, at least those with multiple pointy tines. I mean, enlightened people in Europe don't have millions of forks everywhere, right?
We don't have millions of Nazi traitors everywhere, unlike the 'land of the free'.
I’ve made $1250 so far this week working online and I’m a full time student. I’m using an online business opportunity I heard about and I’AM made such great money. It’s really user friendly and I’m just so happy that I found out about it. Here’s what I do for more information simply.
