Tennessee Teacher Pepper-Sprayed By Student [Video]
- A high school teacher in Tennessee was pepper-sprayed twice by a student who became angry after her phone was confiscated during class.
- The student was reportedly “texting and Googling answers for her school work” when the teacher took her phone away.
- This is the second time the teacher has been assaulted by a student, with the previous incident involving being punched in the face over another confiscated phone.
A Tennessee high school teacher experienced a shocking turn of events when he was pepper-sprayed twice by an angry student after confiscating her phone during class.
The dramatic incident was captured on cellphone video by another student and has since gone viral.
The confrontation took place at Antioch High School, where the student had her phone taken away as a disciplinary action for “texting and Googling answers for her school work,” according to a Reddit user who shared the video.
In the clip, the female student can be seen leaving the classroom and following the teacher into the hallway, where she demands her phone back.
The situation escalates when the teacher reveals that the student had already pepper-sprayed him once. Undeterred, the student sprays him again, causing him to fall to his knees and yell out in pain.
Another teacher eventually steps in to intervene, but the student continues to demand her phone back even after the pepper-sprayed teacher is back on his feet.
This is reportedly the second time this teacher has been assaulted by a student. Two months earlier, he was punched in the face by a different student after confiscating their phone for cheating in class.
Social media users have been quick to condemn the student’s behavior and call for her expulsion and arrest.

A couple of generations of young people have learned it’s ok to have no control of behavior. It’s time to teach them the correct way or pay the consequences that young ones understand. BAR NOTHING!

Notice the “student” in the background doubling over with laughter. Bad behavior is in their DNA.

Anyone that assaults a teacher or other employee in a school.needs to be expelled and arrested for assault. If they do it ti another student. Same punishment. Then let there parents take the expense. If a teacher assaults a student or threatens punishment with a spanking board that assault with a deadly weapon.i would take that board and beat them until they were out. Then call police.

I got a spanking in a public school in TN because I didn’t do my homework, it wasn’t abuse, that was the only year I got straight A’s and B’s in school, I only lived there for one year and every teacher has a paddle hanging behind their desk, no kid ever mouthed off to the teacher. I spanked all of my seven children whenever they rebelled, all seven are now adults and the joy of my life, all are honest, caring, hard working respectful adults. God’s way always works if you discipline with love.

Enough is enough of the disrespect these young people have for others . When are parents going to be parents and teach their children the difference between right and wrong and how to treat others. It appears the parents of today expect any/everyone else to “teach” the children when it’s up to the parents to do that. If the parent do NOT want to take the role of the parent/teacher, then they should NOT have children. If the parents do NOT want to do what’s right for their children, then these kids MUST face the consequences for their actions!!!.

Charged with ASSAULT AS AN ADULT WITH NO REDUCTION IN CHARGE might make the other students realize that they WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE & their parents should be charged as ACCESORIES TO THAT

Have her arrested for assaulting the teacher. Maybe a year in juvenile detention will do her some good! These kids must be taught a lesson.
