HUMBLE, TX – A Humble ISD teacher was suspended on Friday morning after a viral video surfaced of him assaulting a student in the class room.
The following video contains graphic material not suited for certain viewers:
After the release of the video Humble ISD released a statement condemning the extreme use of force in the classroom. The following is that statement.
This should not have happened. It is unacceptable. The teacher has been put on leave. An investigation is underway, and it is unlikely he will be returning when the investigation concludes. On January 11, 2023, the teacher was helping out in another classroom when he used physical force to try to get a student to take a seat and listen. These actions are unacceptable and contrary to standards and expectations for all employees. The district has a process for addressing serious concerns which includes reporting to law enforcement and full cooperation with any law enforcement investigation. Humble ISD Police are investigating.

One cannot make a judgement on whether or not the force used by the teacher was unjustified or not, since the video only captures the event after it began. If the student assaulted the teacher, he was perfectly justified to attempt to restrain him, which is how I saw it. Not a punch thrown.
