How you doing? How you doing? Come and sit down because today we're going to be talking about the cruel world of teachers. It doesn't take a genius to understand that teachers have it pretty 00:10 Speaker A tough. Not only are some students completely out of control and hard to deal with, but teachers are also fighting a losing battle against kids with increasingly deteriorating attention spans. Despite poor pay and work conditions, most teachers will see 00:21 Speaker A the importance in their work and give it their all. Where, where were those [ \_\_ ] at when I grew up? 00:28 Speaker A They were there. You just didn't have them or they didn't like you. [laughter] They wanted you to fail. 00:33 Speaker A Unfortunately, there are also many that are straight up deranged and unfit to look after children. For the worst of the worst teachers, all logic can go straight out the window when the right buttons are pushed. So, today, let's go 00:45 Speaker A back to school to see just how nightmarish some of these teachers can be, which I want to start off with. 00:50 Speaker A Worst teacher you ever had. Worst teacher you ever knew about. Had to be in your school, though. Name names. Name names. Drop the names. We had like three football coaches get arrested for same maybe not three I had one Mr. Riby 01:05 Speaker A got arrested if I remember correctly go back to my, my mind he got arrested for the student but they found like four pregnancy tests in his desk or something. 01:14 Speaker A Oh [ \_\_ ] Hopefully he's still in prison. Is Mr. Riby still in prison? Let's look it up. 01:18 Speaker A Editor should be longer. There was one from our high school who got caught and then two from our junior high doing they were goddamn it was with the same student too. 01:30 Speaker A What? And then multiple teacher same student. What the hell is this? And then I know someone whose sister her husband was dating. He was also coach but he was dating a high school student. 01:42 Speaker A Are you saying that the football coaches of America are CD [ \_\_ ] weirdos? No. 01:47 Speaker A High school football coaches. Are we saying can we make a statement right now? Are all high school football coaches? 01:54 Speaker A [laughter] Can't just boldly give a general statement. I did. That's what I didn't know if that's what you were saying. All right. 02:01 Speaker A Let's get the Vatican and and it's like the Vatican with, uh, preachers priest cuz you can't say every Catholic priest is a path. 02:08 Speaker A But there's a correlation. A lot of them pattern. Most teachers don't enter this field as a completely broken person. In fact, many of them start off with a genuine passion for teaching only to be broken to pieces through years of 02:19 Speaker A torment. All right, dude. Well, hold on a second. Listen, you go into any job, years of years of doing something, you're going to become maybe don't you don't have as much passion anymore, right? Or whatever. But I don't think 02:30 Speaker A that justifies any a teacher being bad. I, I, I just want to put that out there. I don't give a [ \_\_ ] if it's years of torment. You stop you signed up for it. 02:37 Speaker A It's a hard job being a teacher and having to deal with other people's kids and teach them when obviously it's the last thing that kids want to be doing. 02:44 Speaker A But you got to write. You have a duty. You got to do it right. You can't just be like, "Well, [ \_\_ ] kids suck." What do you What do you expect? A good teacher can change the course of a ch a 02:53 Speaker A child's life. That's why you are the way you are is because you had no good teachers. Did you? Not one. Not one teacher. What's one that you were like that changed my life? 03:00 Speaker A Mr. Walker. Mr. Lemley. You're saying it as if you're making up their names right on the [music] spot. 03:07 Speaker A Mr. Walker. Word. Mr. Limley. Did he use an umbrella and fly into a [ \_\_ ] school every day? Mr. Limley. Many students have an unquenchable desire to make their teachers lives miserable in every way possible. It's not uncommon 03:19 Speaker A for a teacher to be both verbally and physically assaulted, which is something many experienced teachers can't admit to. For example, one pregnant chemistry teacher caught a student using their phone in class and began arguing with her about it, only to be literally 03:31 Speaker A kicked in the stomach and sent to the hospital. I would take that I would kill that child. I would take that child by the root of their hair and I would say that God made a mistake and I would I 03:39 Speaker A would scalp her and I would throw her in the dumpster because I can tell you right now no one would miss her. How do even if you're in high school or even if you're in middle school, how do you have 03:47 Speaker A the audacity to kick a pregnant woman in the stomach? Bad parents. That's what it all comes down to. The school system is about bad parents seeing school as like a daycare and they don't want to do anything to 03:58 Speaker A educate their child [music] and then they get upset when their students or their kids are falling behind. Well, that makes me sad, [laughter] Nick. I'm sad about that. 04:08 Speaker A You know what? This is what I would do. That girl who kicked the pregnant woman, it better be violent when she eventually gets a teen pregnancy. 04:14 Speaker A Unfortunately, stories like these are no rare occurrence. What do you mean? [laughter] I mean, how many students are kicking pregnant teachers in the stomach? 04:23 Speaker A I think similar students standing up to teachers. How many How many students last year kicked their pregnant teacher in the stomach? Is there a stat for that? 04:34 Speaker A This video IS SPONSORED BY FUME, the leaders in flavored air.

[screaming] LISTEN, YOU SIT THERE, you tell your teacher to go [ \_\_ ] themselves, right? 05:57 Speaker A That's the extent of it, right? Go yourself. They said the classroom. [gasps] I had a teacher in seventh grade. He was What is it when you get cut and your wounds don't heal? You bleed out. It's a It's a disease. [laughter] 06:12 Speaker A Can't Your blood doesn't coagulate. Did you go to Hogwarts, Mr. [ \_\_ ] Lenny or whatever the [ \_\_ ] it was? And now the the man who can't heal. What the [ \_\_ ] are you talking about? 06:22 Speaker A Uh, I'm pretty sure it's a joke, but some kids threaten. Not threatened, but they're like, "I want to cut the give the teacher a paper cut and see if he needs to go to the hospital." Someone actually said that to you cuz they 06:32 Speaker A didn't like him. Legitimately, I've never had a school experience. I'm curious if people in the comments like, "Oh, yeah, there was people at the time that like they got in a fight with our teacher." I listen, I've heard things 06:42 Speaker A where people are like, "This is bullshit." You know, Colton, you can't take like that. But that's that's it. 06:47 Speaker A The two I've never heard someone be like, "I'm going to hit this lady with my car or I'm going to give I'm go 06:56 Speaker A and he he gave me drugs to hold on to because he was a drug dealer in the middle of class and my teacher got upset and then anyways he came back at the end of class to get him and my teacher 07:05 Speaker A chewed him out or whatever for interrupting class twice. My friend was so upset he the next day brought a screwdriver and a knife and he said, "I'm going to pop his tires and I'm going to shank him." [laughter] 07:17 Speaker A I feel like I've gone just to a complet I made up school if that's if this is real. There's a guy who used to sell Adall in our school and he got caught by the teacher and he just did. What are 07:25 Speaker A you doing? What are you doing? He did I know. He's like come on. THAT WAS THE THAT WAS THE EXTENT OF IT. 07:30 Speaker A OH, I had a girl pregnant. I No more. Time the [ \_\_ ] out. No more. I I got We have got an objective here today. 07:37 Speaker A She was pregnant and brought a gun to school and the police came in and arrested [laughter] her. 07:43 Speaker A We all know kids can be cruel and sometimes they'll resort to the most batshit ways of acting out without a proper understanding of how their actions affect other people. In a small town in Maine, three teenage girls plan 07:54 Speaker A to prank their teacher using a batch of cookies laced with crushed up XLax pills. Enlisting the help of one of their mothers, 43-year-old Julia Hunt. 08:02 Speaker A What do you mean the mom was in on this? They kindly presented them the next day, only for the teacher to end up passing them out to several students who became violently ill within a few hours. The girls were suspended, but Julia was 08:13 Speaker A arrested and charged with misdemeanor assault and sentenced to a lengthy community service put her in prison. Do you think that and this is going to sound crazy, do you think girls like that or like like a you see it sometimes 08:23 Speaker A in movies where it's like oh the star athlete guy gets special treatment. Do you think that that's a real thing? If you're like a oh they're the cheerleaders of the school so they get better treatment in the town. The cops 08:32 Speaker A and stuff are like well I guess just don't do it again. They do that a lot of times. It's Yeah. 08:37 Speaker A If it's like a a football player or whatever. Mom baking x lax cookies and then just knowing what a funny prank. 08:44 Speaker A Take stories like this, couple it up with poor treatment and pay. It's no wonder burnout rates and teachers are at a historical high. In fact, it's not uncommon for teachers to claim they have PTSD thanks to inherently abusive jobs. 08:55 Speaker A Several have claimed that after retirement, it took several years to recover from the trauma they experienced at the hands of both students and bosses. I could imagine being a teacher under an unruly principal would be [ \_\_ ] horrible. What does a principal 09:07 Speaker A even do? What the does a principal even do? Honestly, what the do they even do? 09:13 Speaker A They're in an office and you can't find them. They're always gone. Where the hell are they? What are they doing? 09:18 Speaker A Playing golf. You think so? With the superintendent. Yeah. I kind of want to call my high school and be like, "What does the principal do?" High school. This is This is Hunter Hank. I was a graduate there uh back in 20. How you doing? 09:31 Speaker A Good. How are you? Oh, I'm not doing bad. I just had a quick question. The role of the principal, we're just doing a little uh document here. the role of the principal. What exactly does the principal do at the school? 09:42 Speaker A Um, well, let me see if I've got like a job description I can just read to you. Uh, let's see here. So, I have listed like um discipline appeals, EOC assessments, graduation scheduling budget purchasing evaluations. 10:02 Speaker A Is the principal gone quite a bit during the week attending to stuff? Um, I would say maybe like 50/50. 10:09 Speaker A Oh, okay. Well, thank you for I was just curious. We were just looking it up. Get anything, but I I appreciate your time. 10:13 Speaker A I was just curious. Oh, okay. Pretty. Thank you. Thank you, ma'am. Bye. You didn't even know what the principal does. [laughter] WHAT AM I? IS THAT NOT [ \_\_ ] crazy? Is he there? He's here about 50/50. 10:29 Speaker A Budget spending. Made up rule. Made up roll. I If I was a I'd be [ \_\_ ] pissed. No wonder if people want to be principles, you'll do [ \_\_ ] As much as we should respect our teachers, let's 10:38 Speaker A not pretend that respect should be evenly distributed, right? Some teachers display all sorts of cruel and questionable behavior deserving of criticism. I'm not going to sit here and say that every teacher's a [ \_\_ ] hero. 10:48 Speaker A Do I think that it's it's a it's a tough battle? Absolutely. Do I think that there are more unruly kids than there are bad teachers? Probably. But there are teachers that are horrible. And that's why I want to make this video is 10:58 Speaker A because there has been some stuff that we've seen that I'm still recovering from the the principal call. That was insane. I I the system has got to change. I feel like, you know, because pay is so low for a lot of 11:09 Speaker A teachers, it's a lot of times a fall job where it's just like, well, I can't get anything else to be a teacher. And once you're tenured as a teacher, it's impossible to get fired. 11:19 Speaker A Yeah. It's impossible cuz they're all in unions and stuff. So, which at my school, surprisingly enough, teachers were not unionized, but the custodians were. 11:27 Speaker A No, God. I mean, I the the custodians at a school are God's strongest warriors. 11:32 Speaker A Kids are just [ \_\_ ] disgusting. The amount of people at my school. See, there wasn't a lot of violence, but people like puking and [ \_\_ ] in their pants, pissing themselves. Kind of sounds like I went to school with them. 11:40 Speaker A Insane asylum. It's just some weird stuff like, "Oh, they're sick. Kids getting sick and they're like just [ \_\_ ] all over the floor." Oh, yeah. 11:47 Speaker A God bless custodian. Can we just take a second? God bless custodians. Thank you. Go say thank you, dude. You've been out of the server. You You were not in long enough to be considered a full-time custodian. You did. You did man the the 11:57 Speaker A mines, though. The one guy first day on his job. He went to unclog a toilet. 12:02 Speaker A Could someone put an apple in there? Does kids will they will like put an apple in the toilet and then all in it and make it I swear to God I think it was like a whole football team of 12:10 Speaker A people. One toilet piled up. Yeah. Like almost 2 feet above the seat. So anyways, he had to scoop that all out and throw it in a trash bag. He was plunging it out and then when the apple got loose, it just 12:23 Speaker A erupted in his face. And then anyways, he he walked out covered in and just quit on the spot. So, I'm done. 12:29 Speaker A How do you I mean, how do you even recover from that? I don't blame him. I don't blame him. Say what you will about [ \_\_ ] teachers. Those [ \_\_ ] ain't scooping [ \_\_ ] and having that 12:36 Speaker A explosive poop spray go over them. You know, make the custodians principles. You never hear about the custodians being there 50/50. Those [ \_\_ ] are there all 100. In Canada, one middle school teacher was suspended after bringing his pet ball python to class. I 12:50 Speaker A myself if that happened, I would I would cry. Would you ever kill the snake? 12:53 Speaker A No, I wouldn't. I I couldn't go near it. Also, you must have [ \_\_ ] up is I'm deathly afraid of snakes. I I just I can't do the killing of animal. I get too sad. I just can't do it. If it was 13:02 Speaker A like attacking me, it'd be a different thing. But it's like I'm not like like hit it. 13:07 Speaker A I would probably just be like ah and I'd run away. It was Halloween time and Arthur Owen Sanderson wanted to compliment his post-apocalyptic costume by housing the three-foot python in the pouch he wore across his waist. Despite his best efforts, most of the students 13:19 Speaker A were terrified by this with some even being reduced to tears. What a cruel thing to bring to school, too. Also, you have to realize as python, as a snake or insect, like a snake or spider owner, that's not a 13:32 Speaker A [ \_\_ ] normal thing. You can be like, you know, I this drives me [ \_\_ ] crazy. It's always It's always a certain breed of person. Not going to be judgmental. It's always a [ \_\_ ] psycho 13:42 Speaker A that has a snake. Aren't they cute? No, they're not [ \_\_ ] cute. Look at my spider. Isn't he cute? No, he's not [ \_\_ ] cute, you psychopath. 13:49 Speaker A My snake goes lamb. Lamb, [laughter] the the most frightening thing I've seen online is when those snakes open the doors in the house. I and they fall in the I legitimately There's a [ \_\_ ] pet snake that ate the guy. Oh, he was 14:02 Speaker A sleeping. It was trying to eat him. Nick, I can't I can't even talk about anymore. I'm getting too flustered. My My heart's weak. I got a like a quail heart. Some thought it was a prop and asked to have it draped along their neck 14:14 Speaker A before freaking out upon realizing it was a live [ \_\_ ] snake. In some cases, he would trick staff members into reaching inside the pouch without knowing what was inside, causing them to run away in fear. Sanderson went on to 14:23 Speaker A five different classrooms as well as a staff room throughout the day to repeat this whole routine before eventually being suspended for 2 days without pay. 14:30 Speaker A Oh. Oh, good. He used to go home and just [ \_\_ ] do whatever weird [ \_\_ ] snake owners do. In Queensland, Australia, a high school teacher was harshly criticized for allegedly dressing up as a cat and referring to 14:41 Speaker A herself as Miss Purr. Would you want hyperrealistic cat or would you wantized cat? hyper realistic like the Cat in the Hat. See, that'd be cool. Someone dressed up as the Cat in the Hat. 14:49 Speaker A Be horrifying, but sure. Yeah, [laughter] I guess. But I guess that'd be cool. I'd be [ \_\_ ] frightened. Not only would she hiss at her students for answering questions incorrectly, it was claimed that she would even lick 15:02 Speaker A the back of her hands and pretend to groom herself. You know what's probably gross, too? 15:09 Speaker A That [ \_\_ ] was eating like a tuna sandwich at lunch or something. got that got that [ \_\_ ] cat breath or got like you ever see someone's tongue when they don't brush very well and has like a 15:16 Speaker A [ \_\_ ] like film of like clam chowder on top of it. I bet you didn't think she was doing that. [ \_\_ ] One student's mother claimed that she insisted her daughter purr in order to receive a 15:24 Speaker A lollipop. This is this not to I don't want to jump to too far of conclusions. 15:29 Speaker A This feels a bit shey, does it not? Students started speaking out about this behavior, posting photos and videos and blowing up the story. Once it gained traction and sparked outrage, she was fired from her job. Oh, well, she's looking in the back 15:43 Speaker A of her head. I at this point by how riled up I am. I mean, what the [ \_\_ ] are you doing going and purring and stuff? 15:49 Speaker A You're watching after other people's kids and you're like you're trying to be like you're trying to teach them. And if I'm I'm sitting there and I'm like, if my son came home, he started licking the back of his hand, I'd be [ \_\_ ] in I'd 15:58 Speaker A be outraged. Being a weird teacher is no crime, but weird behavior can quickly cross over into downright demented. In 2023, it was revealed that Joseph Kulkush, a college geography professor from the University of Louisiana, was paying students to let him paint their 16:11 Speaker A faces. Well, like a like a carnival act. I'm going to make you into a leopard. 16:15 Speaker A Joseph was very open about his particular kink on social media. This immediately after the cat thing does not bode well for the Catwoman, and people found posts he'd made discussing them. And on Reddit, a post was found that read, quote, 16:28 Speaker A "I convinced the cute girls in my classes to let me paint their faces. How do you get to a a face paint f? 16:41 Speaker A That's got to be some childhood trauma [ \_\_ ] Got [ \_\_ ] diddle by a clown at a carnival or some [ \_\_ ] You know what I'm talking about? Something weird. I was painted up as a squirrel, but I got 16:49 Speaker A touched by Bozo. I don't f Who [ \_\_ ] something like that, right? Sophie Leavonne, who was 18 at the time, took him up on the offer, only to be creeped out after she was told he would pick her 16:58 Speaker A up from her dorm. He planned to take her to a room in the geography department where they could be alone as he painted her face. And reportedly, he became aggressive after she decided to refuse the offer. Sophie decided to file a 17:07 Speaker A police report to avoid any other woman potentially being put in this weird situation with him. Suddenly, months later, she received a text at midnight from Joseph. It was an image of himself dressed in clown makeup and frowning while wearing a shirt that read, "I'm 17:19 Speaker A not a failure. My god. Campus TV station reporters started to follow him and ask him questions about the incident. Joseph struggled to think of believable excuses, telling them that it was a part of his class and used to improve the 17:31 Speaker A understanding of different cultures. He submitted his resignation soon after he had been exposed. Since then, more and more stories have come out about Joseph being weird and inappropriate with his students. First off, round of applause for the girl for being like, "Yeah, um, 17:42 Speaker A probably like emotionally trying to manipulate her or something and being aggressive." She's like, "Cool, 911. 17:47 Speaker A Hey, so there's like a [ \_\_ ] clown at my school like paying me 20 bucks on top of give me extra credit. And I like that. I'm glad that there was something actually proactive. Also, how sick is it 17:56 Speaker A that the school is just like, "Hey, by the way, you're a creep, right?" He's like [laughter] a Moroccan culture. Also, I called the clown thing, though. I called the clown. 18:05 Speaker A 100% the [ \_\_ ] was touched as a kid by a clown at a fair. That's 100% of that started. Or maybe not 100%, but still pretty close. I I did the the clown bit. Pretty good. Bear trap. In 18:14 Speaker A 2024, a first grade teacher revoked the class's bathroom privileges after some of the students lost their restroom badge in the hallway. First off, that should be illegal. That probably is illegal. None of you can [ \_\_ ] So, 18:24 Speaker A you're in first grade and you lost a hallway badge. What the are you talking about, you demented old? This decision led to multiple students peeing their pants and being forced to sit in soiled clothes all day. And when parents found 18:34 Speaker A out about it, they demanded an apology. Wow. Really relaxed. You got to say sorry. But the teacher responded with a snarky email. Here's like a small excerpt from that email. Today, my class lost their privilege to use the bathroom 18:44 Speaker A during class because they lost the restroom badge while being in the hallway. Unfortunately, we had some friends who needed to use the restroom and ended up peeing on themselves. I do want to apologize for that incident. 18:55 Speaker A Hands inside mouth, grab her up and she's like, [groaning] if I [ \_\_ ] my pants in school, you have Nope. I've never What? You I thought you thought it was like a huge arc in your school. 19:06 Speaker A No, I I would I had a fear of [ \_\_ ] my pants. Oh, it was a fear. Oh, okay. I've [ \_\_ ] my pants in school before. 19:12 Speaker A And how did you turn out? How did it turn out? You tell me, man. 19:15 Speaker A Prom king. That's how it turned out. Was it liberating? What was it like? It was, you know, I was sick. I [ \_\_ ] myself. Definitely soiled it. Was like, this is disgusting. It rire. I took my underwear and I threw away in the 19:25 Speaker A bathroom. I went to the nurse's office. I said, "I just [ \_\_ ] myself." That's why I told her I just [ \_\_ ] myself. And she did. Okay. And she called my mom and I was able to go home. But I did throw 19:32 Speaker A away. Once again, custodians are heroes. I didn't This sound like they were dripping everywhere, but I did I wrapped in a towel and I threw it away. But it definitely probably rire like [ \_\_ ] in there. This only enraged parents more 19:41 Speaker A and soon after the teacher was fired from the school district. Good. A lot of justice in this video so far. I like that. Very rarely do. We have a video where it's like, "And by the way, they're arrested or they fired." 19:51 Speaker A Sometimes teachers can vent their frustrations on their students in shocking ways that make them appear far less mature than the students they're watching over. Staff members have seen it all. Like one who witnessed another staff member making fun of a special 20:02 Speaker A needs student for having a flat head just 10 ft away from the person. A teacher did that? 20:07 Speaker A Oh, teachers say some [ \_\_ ] up [ \_\_ ] Really? You've heard so as a custodian? 20:10 Speaker A Do you cuz your mom? Oh, cuz you're mopping. They don't You're like a ghost. 20:14 Speaker A What's the worst thing you heard a teacher say? They kind of make fun of kids. I can't think of anything off the top of my head. But they'll they'll be like a lot of them say like there's always that one 20:21 Speaker A kid. I [ \_\_ ] hate that kid. That's fair. I mean, come on. Come on. 20:24 Speaker A We're teachers. We we we got a little water cooler talk. There's definitely I that that's fine. Blatantly making fun of a disabled kid though. That's just a [ \_\_ ] demented person I've heard. I mean there's one teacher I can't 20:36 Speaker A remember his name but it was like long time ago but it was when that South Park episode came out about the gingers whatever and no one really knew what gingers were the teachers did but the whole school did cuz of that episode and 20:46 Speaker A uh that there was yeah this one ginger kid in our class and everyone just kept being like whatever ginger whatever and the teacher thought it was funny so he was calling him ginger too. So, you know, that was probably the closest I 20:54 Speaker A ever got. But in 2025, it was discovered that in Salmon River Central School District and Fort Cumington, New York, had built large wooden boxes to be placed in the classrooms with the specific intent of housing special needs students. 21:07 Speaker A What are we doing, Nick? I didn't think it was Are They're treating them like werewolves. Am I wrong? 20 LAST YEAR THEY GOT THEM IN [ \_\_ ] CRATES like they're going like they're are ravenous werewolves. Get in your box, you damn 21:21 Speaker A beast. Digging deeper, it was discovered that multiple teachers had been using these boxes to house at least five elementary students with disabilities as [ \_\_ ] up form of timeout. One of the punished children was an 8-year-old non-verbal autistic student. The inside 21:34 Speaker A of the boxes padded with a small window on the front door just high enough for the students to barely peek out of. 21:43 Speaker A Oh god. Teachers would then hold the door shut as the students panicked while being forcibly secluded. LOOK AT THIS PHOTO. ARE YOU [ \_\_ ] KIDDING ME? IT'S AN INSANE IT'S A [ \_\_ ] Batman layer. 21:56 Speaker A It's Arkham Asylum IN A [ \_\_ ] BOX in a storage container. Holy [ \_\_ ] When parents found out about the atrocious conditions their children were subjected to, they banded together to sue the school district. It is obviously against 22:08 Speaker A the law to house students in a box due to it being classified as a corporal punishment. Just in case that was unclear, there's probably someone pos. 22:16 Speaker A However, when NPR asked the New York Education Department of their opinion on the matter, they said, "By law, personal decisions are a matter of local control." How is a how as a school district do you not put a hard stance on 22:28 Speaker A the box? We as a school district, we do not support the box. It makes it seem like there is an there is a tinge of support in that response, does it not? 22:36 Speaker A As of right now, the lawsuit is still ongoing as the schools remain under investigation a year [ \_\_ ] later. By the way, as one would expect, some of the most demented stories involve overly religious teachers or take place at 22:47 Speaker A religious schools. It gets worse, however, when you realize that many times exorcisms have been performed on students. Over in St. Petersburg, Florida, a literacy author from a local community center, had become convinced that two of her students were possessed 23:00 Speaker A by demons. Two of them at the same time, Nick, you're rare to get one, but now I just got a buy one get one free here. 23:04 Speaker A 35-year-old Danielle Harkkins took both of them off campus to a nearby pier. there. She set up a bonfire and insisted that the two of them draw blood to release the evil spirits inside of them. 23:18 Speaker A Somehow she convinced one of them to their own neck with a broken bottle as she used a heated up key to seal up the wound. [laughter] All in the name of God. 23:31 Speaker A According to police reports, the other students had perfume poured all over his hands before having it set on fire, which led to secondderee burns. They tried to keep the makeshift exorcism a secret, but when one of them eventually 23:41 Speaker A opened up to a friend about it, their parents were notified immediately about what had happened. In the end, the teacher was arrested on suspicion of child abuse. Yeah, it is kind of suspicious, right? I That seems Yeah, child abuse maybe. This teacher feels 23:53 Speaker A like they had like a lock on their brain. This has to be like a religious like manipulation, right? Deep seed like you realize that you're doing something wrong, right? Like what? Or you have something very evil in you or whatever. 24:03 Speaker A Something that like a child would be like, "What the [ \_\_ ] are you saying?" Teachers commit all sorts of crimes, ranging from those that benefit them financially to more cruel attempts at hurting people for their own sadistic 24:12 Speaker A pleasure. Administrator Steven Keenan was caught selling and trading school lawnmowers without the consent of the school board. 24:23 Speaker A He had traded in 11 mowers and brought back seven of them for discounted price. 24:26 Speaker A He then went to sell five of the seven lawnmowers, eventually pocketing 10 grand in profit. The school board quickly suspended Steven without pay and not long after he resigned. Almost sounds like one of those test questions, doesn't it? If Steven goes and takes 11 24:38 Speaker A lawnmowers and he comes [laughter] back with five, doesn't it sound like one of those? What a weird side scheme, too. 10 grand is nothing to sneeze at, but also what a dumbass like what we're going to I'm going to put we've been talking 24:48 Speaker A about a lot of weird [ \_\_ ] today, right? But I will put a little trigger warning up here. This is this is a this story is a little this is the reason why we even wanted to do [ \_\_ ] up teachers was 24:56 Speaker A because of this story cuz it's it's outrageous what the story is. Okay, so viewer discretion is advised. Stay if you want or if you want to head out. 25:04 Speaker A We'll see you next time. But here we go. In 2019, a teacher in Louisiana named Cynthia Perkins was caught up in a batshit insane stunt that involved making cupcakes for her junior high school class filled with her husband. 25:14 Speaker A Several students ended up ingesting them alongside lace energy drinks. According to the lawsuits filed against both the school and the husband, Dennis Perkins, who was also a former sheriff's deputy, their home was raided after the National Center for Missing and Exploited 25:27 Speaker A Children received an anonymous tip. Dennis was taken into custody alongside his wife and both faced a series of charges that were far more gruesome and demonic. Together, their charges included the possession and production of first-degree video voyerism and 25:42 Speaker A obscinity. Cynthia originally tried to hide behind the idea that her now ex-husband was the mastermind behind everything, even divorcing him to further the narrative. That didn't stop her from being sentenced to 41 years in prison without parole. Dennis, who 25:54 Speaker A delivered a half-ass crying apology in which he thanked Jesus Christ for forgiving him, was left to rot in prison for 100 years without parole. I both bothing die a horrible and painful death. These monsters absolutely despicable, disgusting waste of life. 26:09 Speaker A But that is I mean like it to me it doesn't even matter what their motives were or what inspired them to do it. 26:14 Speaker A Absolutely despicable. Disgusting. And I think that there's no reform for that kind of behavior. I think that like legitimately it should have been like death penalty [ \_\_ ] Like I I I think it's just people who do that stuff. Two 26:25 Speaker A kids should being killed, put down. I just want to thank Jesus Christ. You know what? Jesus Christ caning suck your dude. 26:34 Speaker A [laughter] I hate when he's like sitting there and he's saying, "Oh, I I want to thank Jesus Christ for whatever." Off behind behind that. You know what? Okay, we're going biblical. Let's go biblical. 26:44 Speaker A Stoning. You got [clears throat] stoned. Despite being a place where precious memories are supposed to be made, school is an incredibly volatile and challenging place for both students and teachers. If you're in a situation where a teacher at your school is performing 26:55 Speaker A secret exorcisms or hissing at you for answering a question wrong, there's nothing wrong with reporting it to someone. Anything's happening, you should always be open to communicating. 27:03 Speaker A You shouldn't fear. I think there's like a fear of it's like, I don't want to rock the boat or I don't want to get something. If if something weird is happening, you need to tell somebody. 27:10 Speaker A And if you're entering a career of teaching, get your own [ \_\_ ] straight before the stresses of class and unruly children push you to make some irreversible mistakes that could also ruin the potential lives of these young 27:19 Speaker A people. [music] Right. I say whoever threw that paper, your mom's a ho. I have so much respect for teachers that are like a huge positive influence cuz it really it will change the trajectory of somebody's life. One of the most 27:34 Speaker A about crying just [ \_\_ ] thinking about it. It's that goddamn video of the teacher that the professional soccer player who thought that his teacher was dead. We didn't We're going to end on a [ \_\_ ] positive note this video. I want 27:45 Speaker A you to play that clip. Thank you guys. We'll see you in the next one. 27:48 Speaker A Hello, Ian. Long time no see. Mr. Pig then [laughter] you're alive. I'm alive. He says, "How you doing?" [panting] I can't believe it. Someone said you was dead. 28:11 Speaker A As you see, I'm very much in and I'm so glad you've done so well with yourself.
