She definitely shouldn't have stepped on her students' backs.....but there also isn't a doubt in my mind that this whole situation has been blown out of proportion.

Regardless of whether it is or isnt being blown out of proportion, common sense shoulda told her that the entire scenario probably wasnt going to end well.

None of us know what the environment of that classroom was like. The articles want to make it sound like she forced the students onto the ground and smashed their spines with the heels of her shoes because she's an evil racist white woman. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt, because I've seen how teachers are always under a microscope and people are almost (disturbingly) EAGER to get teachers fired over the littlest shit.

I've been alive long enough to see how the media exaggerates shit for their precious click-baity headlines to get people all fired up for nothing. Gets the views pouring in. Drink up that sweet sweet ad revenue.

News outlets don't make money by printing facts. They make money by getting advertisements.

I am willing to bet the students were more than eager to participate in her activity. I'm sure there was also lots of laughter in the classroom, followed by discussion.

But it took just one whiny kid in the class to go home and tell mommy about what happened. And mommy got triggered on everyone's behalf....and complained.
