CA Wrestling Teacher | Student Brawl Coach Mark Black Suspended

[Theowl32]

The cellphone video from inside a classroom at Santa Monica High School went viral late last week.

It showed Mark Black, a longtime teacher and wrestling coach, swatting at a student with his arms, grabbing the teenager by the thigh and then crashing into desks and the classroom wall as he tried to execute a takedown. Moments later, Black had the young man pinned to the ground.

District Superintendent Sandra Lyon called the incident "utterly alarming" and acted swiftly, placing the teacher on leave pending the outcome of an investigation. In a statement released hours after the fight, she called the teacher's use of physical restraint "unacceptable" and pledged that the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District would offer support to the student's family.

The student had drugs in class, when confronted..he started stabbing the teacher with his pencil. The students confirm the teacher was acting in self-defense. But, of course, he will pay.

Guess they expect a teacher to turn tail and run if attacked.

The teacher should be given a raise (and another five minutes alone in a locked room with the little punk).
