Cardi B Unloads On Dallas Middle Schoolers Caught On Video Throwing Chair At Substitute Teacher
Rapper Cardi B had no patience for the younger generation who act out their violent impulses in the classroom.
"Disgusting this generation is really lost," wrote the rapper after seeing a viral video of a substitute teacher being struck in the forehead by a chair thrown by one of the middle school students.
"I went to school wit a lot of gangstas and no matter what they never put their hands on a teacher."
"Kids this is not respected, not cool, not funny, not tough, not gangsta ….it’s giving y’all pussy."

The beginning of the viral clip showed the substitute teacher at DeSoto ISD in a suburb of Dallas struggling to control his disruptive middle school students.
When the metal chair thrown by a pupil hit the teacher's forehead, he retaliated by throwing two chairs in the direction of the raucous students who gathered into a corner of the room.
There is screaming, shouting and some laughter over the display of anarchy.
The clip ended with the injured adult sitting back down at the teacher's desk and wiping blood from the open wound on his forehead.
Social media users were appalled after watching the chaotic scene.
Some tried to identify the root of the problem while others suggested ways to prevent the unruly behavior.
I am in the corner of the young who stopped the fight. I am not a fan of the language used, but he respects his teacher. What is wrong with children today? JESUS save us all!! I pray that things get better in this world , before the endAMEN— Valerie Bennett (@Valerie Bennett) 1647020486
Whoever spares the rod hates their children but whoever loves their children is diligent to discipline them. thankful that I stopped teaching\u2014those kids should\u2019ve gotten the rod. America took God and devotion out of schools, and those children need Jesus at school and home.— COLZIE DR (@COLZIE DR) 1646962442
And that\u2019s the problem, if an adult disrespects you, & you\u2019re a kid, then it becomes a battle for your parents! & y\u2019all don\u2019t understand that, which is— chelle (@chelle) 1647031650
I blame the schoolnsystem for allowing the parents to dictate what they do all because they might donate funds to the school. Paddling was a HUGE help back in school when we was in school, true enough some officials took it too far, but get rid of them , don't get rid of paddling— Kattness Everdeen\ud83d\udcaa\ud83d\udc51\ud83d\udc9c (@Kattness Everdeen\ud83d\udcaa\ud83d\udc51\ud83d\udc9c) 1646964049
Honestly cuz why tf would you even consider touching your teacher?!? That\u2019s someone family father mother or even sibling how would you feel if your mom or dad was a teacher and they come home bleeding like that and they say it\u2019s a high schooler that did that shit to them?— Ken.ward_\ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffd\ud83d\ude14 (@Ken.ward_\ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udef6\ud83c\udffd\ud83d\ude14) 1646957281
This is heart-wrenching. To see blood pour out the man's head. Manners and respect have gotten lost. Violence is never the solution. With suspension or punishment, all parties need to see a therapist. It has to stop; kids & teachers don't want to go to school out of fear— Nina J. (@Nina J.) 1647008518
DeSoto ISD responded to the horrific incident and released a statement that read:
“DeSoto ISD is intent on re-establishing a culture and climate that emphasizes safety, security, and educational excellence.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a devastating number of teacher shortages in the United States, with many educators leaving or retiring early due to low wages after working nearly 10-hour days.
One TikToker who is a fourth-grade teacher from Cleveland did a calculation video breaking down his work schedule to reveal he made $14 an hour before taxes.
Yahoo News cited a survey conducted by the Learning Policy Institute that found that one-third of those who left their teaching positions in November 2021 reported working “56 hours or more” per week.
Roughly another one-third of school officials reportedly admitted to taking on additional work in order to make ends meet.
“64 percent of respondents said their pay wasn’t sufficient to merit the risk or stress,” the data noted.
