One of my favorite memories from high school is when the vice principal finally gave it to one of the school bullies. It was a girl, a mean girl. She was walking out of the cafeteria past Mr. G and she said something nasty. He tried to stop her and grabbed her arm and she took a hard swing at him. He grabbed her by the ponytail and swung her around against the wall and pushed her down to her knees. She was so humiliated she was crying. Mr. G was real smooth the way he did it, and we all applauded. I'll bet she got some hell when she got home too.
After that she was still a jerk, but she was better. And we all respected Mr. G a little more because she really needed something like that to happen, as nothing else had worked.
He was in the wrong, though. You can't put your hands on someone because they "said something," nasty or otherwise.
If the teacher, who is supposed to be some kind of leader or source of encouragement sat there and told some kid he's going to end up dead, then i can see how a child could be triggered. That type of statement is just conditioning (black) kids for the school-to-prison pipeline.
I think it's a bit early to rely on the kids side of the story...
Far more likely that he simply took offence to being spoken to about the use of the bandana.

Seems like the teacher was trying to be that kind of leader, get the kid to change his behavior and crawl out of that pipeline. And this is the thanks he gets.
More proof that the "ass-beating generation" produced better young adults than did the "time out generation."
My kids and all of their friends were from the time out generation. I never raised a hand to them. They've always been polite, respectful and obedient. One parent household. Now they're successful adults.
This mother and the school is enabling his bad behavior. Not to mention, he should be isolated from the students who want to learn, but schools don't even have the guts to do that anymore.
I guess duct taping the kid to a blackboard wasn't an option.
