A middle school teacher in Florida was placed on administrative leave after being accused of instructing his white students to bow to his black students.
Ethan Hooper, a teacher at Howard Middle School in Orlando, Florida, posted the video of white children bowing to black children on his personal TikTok, which was soon picked up and shared by the controversial Libs of TikTok account, according to a report.The video shows the white students acting as servants to the black students, feeding them by hand before getting on their knees and bowing.
Following the swath of online attention, the Orange County Public School District issued a statement announcing that Hooper had been placed on leave, according to the report. The district will"not tolerate the use of our children as political pawns by anyone, including a classroom teacher. Any employee who creates videos or other content with students in an effort to exploit them for political purposes will be immediately removed from the classroom, placed on administrative leave, and swift action will be taken to terminate employment," its statement read.
"I am appalled at the behavior and judgment of the teacher who posted the inappropriate videos. This is not free speech — it is the exploitation of our students for political purposes, and it will not be tolerated in our school district," Superintendent Maria Vazquez said in a statement.
