Reginald Wells, a 12-year-old student at Willie Ray Smith Middle School in Beaumont, Texas was allegedly knocked unconscious by his assistant math teacher last Friday after making a joke about his favorite football team, reportsĀ CBS News.
Wells was standing in the hallway joking with the teacher, when the encounter suddenly took a violent turn.
āAll of a sudden he just hit me, in my shoulder,ā Wells said in an interview withĀ 12News. āā¦ and I looked at him like, āWhat the heck?āā
The 4 feet 11 inches tall, 80 pound 7th-grader says that he responded by pushing the teacherās shoulder. And, from there, the unthinkable happened.
The teacher was fired immediately and escorted off the premises, but was not arrested. To add insult to injury, he allegedly refused to apologize for his actions.
āHe said āI canāt apologize for what I did, I was just having a bad day and I just snapped,āā said Wells.
āFor you to just let a teacher do that to him and just walk off, heās fired and walks off, I canāt accept that.ā
