The brave and patriotic student who filmed the video spoke exclusively to the Todd Starnes Radio Show on Monday. His parents asked that we not identify the young man by name.
“I was so angry,” the student told Starnes. “He has a history of being anti-military. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion but at the same time they shouldn’t be disrespecting the veterans who have fought for our rights, who give up their lives and do stuff that other people are not willing to do.”
The student told the Todd Starnes Radio Show the teacher was triggered by his Marine Corps sweatshirt. Click here to listen to the full interview.
“He called me out in front of the whole class,” the young man said. “He wanted to ask why I wanted to join the military.”
“I told him it’s a family tradition; it’s something I’ve been wanting to do as a kid,” the student said. “And he ended up saying, ‘So if it was a family tradition to beat women, would you continue it?’”
Instead of back-talking the teacher, the young man said he sat down in his seat and started filming the teacher.
“This wasn’t meant to go viral. It was just meant for my mom and dad to see,” he said.
The student said he wants to join the Marine Corps after graduation – just like his dad and uncle.
“My dad – he’s a veteran – he went to Afghanistan,” he said. “I have an uncle who was in Desert Storm, another uncle that was in the Vietnam War.”
The school district released a statement vowing to investigate the incident and take appropriate action.
