Florida sheriff's video on new student disciplinary measures sparks backlash; he refuses to back down
Fox News
Education officials and concerned parents addressed comments Brevard County Sheriff Wayne Ivey made last month outside a prison demanding harsher student discipline.
Claiming to have received extensive reports of dangerous and sometimes violent student misbehavior from teachers, school staff and administrators, Ivey announced his intentions to reform the county's discipline guidelines.

"Our teachers are distracted. They can't do their jobs anymore, and they are spending more time dealing with [students] disrupting their class than they are teaching those that actually came there to learn," Ivey said at his original press conference.
