I was assaulted by a student.

I made sure to walk out into the hallway where there cameras to show the student assaulting me. I was able to stop the assault while on camera. This happened October 15th. I’ve been ”under investigation” until today.

I’ve been recommended for termination as of 10:37 today due to “excessive force.”

It’s not lost on me that I’m a USMC Veteran and today is Veteran’s day. My sixth year teaching middle school too.

What’s next? Flag on my certificate? Can I teach in another district? I’m in Texas, in the “district of innovation,” with a state appointed dictator and board.
