Florida ‘Teacher of the Year’ charged with child abuse against student days after honor: report
Fox News
A “Teacher of the Year” in Florida was arrested Friday after she allegedly struck a minor in the face--causing a nose bleed--after the student posted a message on Instagram questioning the educator's selection for the top honor, according to a report.
The paper described troubling allegations from a student.
The alleged incident occurred after some Instagram commenters questioned Lee being tapped for the honor, the paper reported. One issue that was raised was Lee’s use of the n-word in class, the report said. Lee brushed off the criticism and said she only used the word while reading from John Steinbeck’s 1937 classic "Of Mice and Men."
