A Wisconsin high school teacher was placed on administrative leave following an incident in which a viral video appears to show her berating a student for failing to wear a mask as a precaution meant to stop the spread of COVID-19.
Talk radio host Vicki McKenna shared the video, claiming that she found it on TikTok and edited the shot to protect the student s identity. She declined to say who published the video.
“I don’t care if you’re vaccinated, you little dink,” the teacher told the student in the video. “I don’t want to get sick and die. There’s other people you can infect just because you’re vaccinated. You know what? You’re not a special person around here, the unidentified teacher can be heard saying.
During its Dec. 21 meeting, the Poynette School Board approved a slight modification of its academic calendar to begin 2021.
In an effort to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 within its three buildings, the district will extend its winter break, having students return to their respective classes on Thursday, Jan. 7 rather than Monday, Jan. 3.
The return would be 14 days after Christmas and a week after New Yearâs Eve, giving the proper incubation time after potential exposure to lapse before coming back to school. District Administrator Matt Shappell said the district having all students go into virtual learning for the week of Jan. 3 was another option.
