A high school student in Texas punched his teacher square in the face ... a frightening encounter captured on video.

The violent outburst happened at Lamar High School in Houston, where footage shows a student arguing with a male teacher who had, apparently, taken the kid's phone for some reason -- then suddenly the student threw a haymaker.

They were face-to-face when the teen reached back and uncorked a right hook, landing flush on the teacher's jaw. Shocked onlookers screamed as the student threw more punches, and the video abruptly cuts off. Students are sharing the video all over social media, and parents with kids at the school are obviously outraged.

The school's principal reportedly sent a note to parents saying the school does not condone or tolerate this type of behavior. The principal says,"Administrators will be looking into the cause of the altercation and continue to evaluate ways to prevent these occurrences in the future."Play video contentIt's another example of the increase in student violence against teachers in schools across the country ... a subject we dove into on"TMZ Live" with Lt.

This is what happens when we see a society of no consequences and too much social media in young peoples hands. Anger about everything. Just a bad actor. Need to build more jails and mental hospitals. Whacko generation.

Kid has zero respect. Hope the real world teaches him a karma lesson.

Idk about this. I personally been bullied by the teachers for my race and my ADHD I don't condone violence but I wouldn't wish what I went through on anyone.

If I was back in high school n I was there I would of nock down my classmate

Why are that students parents upset?

And if the teacher did do anything wrong to cause this situation, that student should go straight to jail. No one has the right to put there hands on anyone for any reason

good. old men don't listen or follow directions

Shame on all these teenagers!! They think they’re above the law. No respect for others!! I feel sorry for the future!

Teacher had his phone would not give it back.

I hope he gets charged as an adult. The article I read said that the student was mad that the teacher took the student's phone away during class time. Ridiculous. Jail him.

Bad behavior is being cultivated across society, more outwardly in last 4 yrs. As a society the decay is spreading-Moral compass & decorum eroded Civility becoming a lost cause -only Hollywood & Media can temper this behavior as they subconsciously diminished it tmz

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again… these kids whom have done this should be Expelled, go to Juvi and do Community Service PERIOD!

Lock him up

This is sickening. Kids all age and race need to be taught respect and be held accountable. So much has been lost in the upbringing of children anymore.

We need to keep our teachers safe & our students healthy🤦🏾‍♀️. Help TeachersFest honor teachers. teachersfest

blackattack monkeygames Blackeducation BlackExcellence

Americans

What a disgrace probably moved to Texas from California

This world has lost it's morals. No accountability.

I’m sure he had it coming let’s ask the student why we are harassing him ?

It’s the racist comments for me. 😑 everyone should be keeping their hands to their selves. Everyone should have equal consequences to one’s actions.

I love how everyone is judging this with literally no information. Are they even in class? Lol. Does anyone know if there is a legit reason that he needed his phone? Even children have things that happen outside of school........

Now if that teacher would have hit him back and he should have, there would be the parents on tv talking about a teacher hitting their child. Matter if fact what grade was this he looked like he should be in college or something. Mighty big

Because your STEALING from them. You give them something and say THIS IS YOURS then taken it away. Especially a stranger. You fck around you find out.

Wowwwww 😶

People just need to raise their child with respect PERIOD stop making excuses for shit behavior. We were born being taught right from wrong.

Another worthless gross out of control Ape

Teachers don’t get paid enough the way it is. Now they gotta worry about shootings and deal with little assholes like this and get assaulted? Nah I’m out.

Throw that kid out of school for the rest of the year let him face a consequence of this!!!

Teachers need bodyguards at this point. No one should have to deal with so much nonsense at work. Schools need to be protected from the inside out. So much has gone on at public schools and education is not a priority.

it is literally HIS phone. if it was the other way around i’m sure the teacher wouldn’t like the fact HIS belongings were taken away from him

Must have no father. 99% accurate

yall mfs being racist asf acting like white kids have never hit a teacher before.

Race doesn’t have a damn thing to do with it. Stop leading with that! This video doesn’t even show what lead to this not what the actual problem was.

Hurt

Sucker punching someone is the most cowardly thing anyone could ever do 🤨

I hope he was charged. And suspended.

Notice the pattern of color?

The teacher looks like he’s on a power trip taking the kids phone. I’d be interested to see what led up to that aggression. Taking away someone’s cell phone is taking their ability to call for help away. I’m sorry with all the school shootings now, my kids will keep their phones

Roaches

Can we go back to suspending and kicking kids out of school. We no longer have the time and clearly teachers don’t get paid enough to dealwith behavior issues.

It's Texas, no one cares in the US, not a real state

Address this like you do police brutality.

Don’t touch Gen Z’s phone - Lesson Learned! (I would have done the same if a teacher took m Game Boy)

TMZ is reporting on school videos😂😂😂 ain’t got better things to do?

Love how racist Americans are too each other in the comments. Music to my ears how bad USSA is failing.

It cracks me up how shocked people are by this. This has been going on for years. It’s not right,but we have cameras now so u see it more.

So nobody told the teacher young folks will beat your azz about their phone. Something happens to it their world has ended.

Hopefully charges were brought against the said student.

What a fricking animal!

It's just another kid that has no respect for others Regardless of who or where he came from

And of course, it's exactly who you'd think would do such a thing. Most likely another fatherless product of daddy welfare.

Just wrong boy! Perhaps the teacher should have asked him to take his phone and leave. Simple…

As an educator taking a phone 📱 from a student is a lost cause and the child wins every time. It’s a fight I walk away from, it’s not worth it to me. I just want to make it home safe.

The problem lies with having stand offs in front of other students. This teacher could have avoided getting hit if he said alright man can we take a walk and have a conversation with just you and I. When a child feels embarrassed they act out. Be the adult and the bigger person.

Another Scott adams W.

This tweet has brought out all of the racists

In school I was taught to keep my hands to myself. This kid has no home training.

Video angers PARENTS? Whose parents? Because it's the parents that are responsible for this kind of behavior.

Well he won't have his phone in jail will he?

He can’t put his hands on anyone period. Obviously he cannot follow the rules of civility in a classroom, he put his hands on someone who gets paid nothing but cares enough to contribute to his future. He doesn’t care about anyone or anything. Beginning of a rotting future.

Hopefully they are arresting these kids for assault. Our generation would have NEVER.

Ridiculous… expulsion and assault charges.

Just think if it was a armed teacher what would've happened 🤔

The parents will probably try to sue because their kid is an ahole and the teacher didn't know how to handle him. Or whatever reason they try to find

The way kids act is a reflection of their parents

Shocking....

We don't know what that Teacher said. What if he said some disrespectful bullshit about Macho Man Randy Savage and the student had to do it for the culture? We don't have all the facts.

He is not a student. He’s an animal

Better than coming in with a gun to shoot innocent pupils and teachers!!

1000% he black…. Aaaaannnnddddd I’m right again

Jail is the future of this one, mines well drop out

I’ve been through something like this in middle school. It’s horrifying, I hope he’s charged with assault!

Arrest and charge the student!

Looks like a hate crime

I hope this kid got expelled

Always the same 🤔

Kids are addicted to their phones . They turn violent when it’s taken from them. I’ve exp. aggression over the phone with a teenager in the past. Social media/ technology/ phones are messing up our young people.

And nothing will happen

Hmmm something seems to be familiar about this scenery, can’t quite put my finger on it - but there is definitely a common theme 🤔 🧐

✊🏾

I'm totally shocked it's a black kid... (I'm not)

Race and gender don't matter attitude does its obvious this kids personal life and parenting need to be checked into and put into military school

You couldn’t pay me enough to be a teacher to this generation of violent so called kids … sick AF about how this just continues and their parents don’t get charged along with them 🤬

parents need charged and prison and kids need juvenile detention

What did the teacher say ... Let's get all details before we make judgements ...

I’m so fucking sick and tired complaining everything has to be about the color of someone’s skin not all of us are racist some of us have friends that are different skin colors it just never mind what I just said somebody is going to say something about what I just said

There is NEVER a reason for a student to hit a teacher! So extremely rude! Violence never solves anything! This child needs to be held FULLY accountable for his actions! Many kids these days just don't understand how lucky they are, that they aren't allowed to get spankings! 🤣

They need to charge and arrest the student

This happens every day. Thanks for catching up on the news.

Stop showing this shit. And maybe folks won’t continue to do this bullshit. Cause they know they are being Video taped. Add fuel to the fire.

Or, or some people shouldn’t be reproducing and making new people.. just another thought. 😬😖😑

Why hasn’t NPR showed this video 😳

Once we pass reparations for these poor oppressed folks ~ this behavior will no longer exist. 😳

A Black Texas High School punches a white Teacher in the face. I fixed it for you. This is how you would word it if the races were reversed

Usual suspects

. What is 'black on white violence/sucker punch' for $200 Alex

Woke lunacy Is encouraging this.

🐵

They're should be no more highschools after 16 yrs of age. K-10 11-12 should be precollege years. And you gotta be accepted. By your K-10 years of schooling.. I mean teachers shouldn't be getting violently assaulted by unruly students. even they're own parents afraid of. ⚔️🕊️💎🌎

Wow Harvey NO race baiting in your headlines today WHY ? If it was the other way around TMZ headlines would have read. “ Black teachers gets beat by White student “ But the teacher was White so it just read teacher gets punched by student. TMZRacebaiters when it serves them

Should get 5 yrs. Harsh penalties stop crime. Punks gotta pay

Culture of violence in a certain segment of society, but we are not allowed to talk about it (which means it won’t get better).

Never when I was in school did anything like this happen. Phones and other electronics are the cause. Ban all from school. Parents need to reach the student- call the office like they used to. Kids have no discipline or accountability these days.

He needs to be charged. I had to retire after a student hurt me, that has required three surgeries. These kids have no home training and parents don't care, that's why it's a shortage who wants to put up with this crap

The direct result of Democrat leadership.

Animals

When there aren't any consequences, why wouldn't he punch the teacher?

Sad world we live in! This punk (color NOT my issue) should be held fully accountable!!!

This new school generation of kids care more about their phones than anything. Everybody has to eat in the phone and do all of this craziness for attention. These kids are also disrespectful than ever. I would say parents raise your kids but some parents need raising too. 🤦🏽‍♀️

My sons would NEVER even disrespect an asshole teacher. Much less assault one. And they’re tough young men. Gotta teach them right at home. 🙏🏼

It takes a special person to be a public school teacher…not sure how the US has any left.

Show the thugs face

It all starts at home. Do better parents.

Gender and race aside. I am a white education worker who was assaulted by a white student. The race doesn’t matter. The entitlement does. You don’t just get to assault someone because you feel like it and you’re “upset” or “mentally unwell.” It was a phone for crying out loud.

Prison will strengthen out this behavior. I don’t have any tolerance for any kind of violence against teachers.

The same way we demand teachers who abuse our children in anyway,- hold this young man accountable. We have to stop the physical aggression, we have to teach our children to use dialogue or let the parents handle situations out of their hands.

Another reason why parents should take phones from kids. Their hearts and minds are built within these electronics.

Show that punk’s face.

Surprise

Hate crime my NINJA!!

Should have complied and give the kid his phone back and also not get in his face like that.

When there's a School Shooter, they Say give the Teachers Guns. When Students continue to attack Teachers, Should Teachers now be required to take Taekwondo? Kung Fu? What the solution for to deal with Disrespectful Kids?

Yeah, well, whatever. If he was a Science Teacher he prolly deserved it. Those Science, and Biology teachers think they’re Gods like Dr. Frankenstein for some reason

So students can hit teachers and they can't hit students?

Civil war will be interesting. I’m not picking any side I’ll just watch from a different country

Why do some students go to school and attack their educators who are just doing their job smh.

Not surprised The usual suspect Young black male

It's only a hate crime the victim is black and the aggressor is white

The usual color.

and people want to arm teachers, cause some students might get popped. lol

Imagine if the races were reversed

I bet he already said it.

gee I wonder what race he is?

It’s a hate crime

The skin color of the student will come as a total surprise to everyone. Not

Nasty fucking ghetto shit
