A Florida school district removed a high school teacher who was recorded using racist rhetoric to admonish a student who didn’t stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.
A TikTok of the Wednesday incident has amassed more than 160,000 views as of Friday. A spokesperson for Manatee County Schools told Insider that the district launched an investigation into the matter.
The video shows a male teacher at Bradenton High school berating a student who appears to be Latino over his apparent refusal to stand and salute the flag. The video is captioned: “my friend didn’t stand for the pledge and this what the teacher said.”
