A teacher in Anderson, South Carolina, has retired after a video went viral showing her standing on a black student’s desk and pulling on his hair. “If you ask any kid I’ve taught, they’ll tell you I kid around with them, make them stay awake and laugh with them,” Houston told local TV station WYFF. Julian Johnson, the father of the student in the video, told Fox Carolina that his family never asked that Houston be disciplined for her actions. More than a hundred past and present students marched from the school to the district office to lament her leaving the school. “She is an amazing educator, an amazing woman in this community and Anderson District One lost a great teacher in her,” former student Marcus Coppola told WSPA TV.
