\u201cHearing @Meghan_Trainor talk dismissively about public schools is so disappointing. So many students have to go to public school because they don\u2019t have the money or accessibility for private school or homeschooling. Teachers are superheroes doing the best for their kids.\u201d

In response to the online backlash, Trainor issued an apology via TikTok.
She shared:
"Teachers of TikTok and teachers of the world, I recently said, 'F teachers,' on a podcast, and that's not how I feel.""I was fired up because I was talking about how sending your kid to school here in America is so horrific. What all of us have to go through—especially teachers—is not normal and not okay."The "All about that Bass" singer added she did not have a positive experience with her own teachers, claiming she was "bullied by some teachers."
"In that moment, I got angry and said, 'F teachers'. F those specific human beings back in the day."She then said:
"I am so sorry to any teachers I made feel bad, and I will remind myself that my words definitely could have a consequence and I will be more careful."You can watch the apology video below.
@meghantrainor@galsgotmoxie thank you for making your video and for bringing attention to this. I am sorry for being careless with my words. I LOVE teachers and I am here for you ❤️ Let’s work to make schools a better place together
Many viewers weren't buying it.
People noted the podcast was not aired live meaning the inclusion of the statement was an intentional choice.
\u201c@CNN This is why her apology isn\u2019t being accepted.Her blurting out F the teachers wasn\u2019t about violence in schools. It was about her feeling bullied by a few teachers. She edited and decided to publish her podcast so this was a complete thought and feeling. It\u2019s how she sees us\u201d
