Clearly, it's racial. While he was attacked, she just stood there and watched.

My son did not get a letter of suspension. On Monday afternoon, I saw footage of the fight that occurred in the classroom during school hours in the presence of the female white teacher.
My son was strangled by a white boy, and she did nothing, but when my son got up to fight back, that's when she got physically involved, but she just watched as my son was being assaulted. The aggrieved parents said they laid charges of attempted murder at Jan Hofmeyer Police Station in Welkom and were waiting for feedback from the police.A Welkom school is facing allegations of racism, after footage emerged of a teacher standing by while a boy is strangled.
