Indiana high school teacher arrested after hitting student

Note the difference in size between the teacher and boy.

Due to the violence, the unblurred YouTube video would not post,
but it's worth seeing if you go to YouTube.
Fourth video down is the best view.

........................................................................................

A now-retired Indiana high school teacher who was arrested after video showed him hitting a student during a confrontation over wearing a hooded sweatshirt on school grounds was charged Friday with battery, according to court documents. Security footage obtained by CNN shows the incident on February 25 at Jimtown High School in Elkhart, Indiana. In the video, teacher Michael Hosinski jogs down a hallway at the school, appearing to chase after the student and grabs the student by the backpack. Hosinski, 61, points his finger at the student and then hits the student in the face, knocking the student’s head into the wall. As the student holds their head with one hand, Hosinski grabs the student by the arm and begins to pull the student down the hallway before the student falls to the ground. At that point, another adult appears in the video, and Hosinski walks away from the student.

Less than two hours after Hosinski hit the student on February 25, he requested that the Baugo Community School Board grant him early retirement, Superintendent Byron Sanders said in a letter to families on Sunday. On February 28, the school board unanimously approved the early retirement request.
Hosinski will receive all usual retirement benefits, a source familiar with board policies told CNN.

The altercation began after Hosinski confronted the student about wearing a hooded sweatshirt to class, Sanders said in a February 25 news release. Hoods are not allowed in school except on special days, the school’s handbook shows. From there, a verbal exchange ensued, and Hosinski slapped the student in the face and the student’s head hit the wall, causing “visible injuries,” Sanders said.

The student told the police officer called to the scene that Hosinski instructed him to leave the classroom. After he left,
the student said Hosinski followed him down the hallway, grabbed his backpack and hit him across his face, “which caused his head to hit the brick wall of the hallway,” the court document states. The officer saw an abrasion and a lump on the student’s head.

fucker’s retirement to pay for college. That teacher is nothing but a bully. I’m sure this isn’t the first time he’s done something like this too.

Glad he was arrested.

Sorry it took several days.

The right wing implied threats he used as classroom decorations were nauseating.
