The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all the...
Why does the Sunshine State consistently produce such strange news?
If I catch y'all ass in traffic, I whip her, my genie out, y'all don't suck.
It is just one of the many wacky news stories out of Florida.
On The Breakfast Club.
Yes, donkey of the day for Monday, September 9th goes to a vice principal and a teacher in Florida.
The vice principal's name is Tashika Fabian and the teacher's name is Benny Leverett.
What does your uncle Charlotte always say about the great state of Florida?
The craziest people in America come from the Bronx and all of Florida.
And today is no exception.
I am telling you right now, America, nobody gives a damn anymore.
OK, folks is overworked underpaid and they just
don't have time for the foolishness even if they themselves are the foolishness see tashika fabian
is no longer the vice uh principal at progress village middle school because benny leverett the
teacher had to resign from his job because he decided to put a child in the chokehold yes the
crippler crossface million dollar dream cobra clutch hell's gate he put the student in a chokehold i guess they got into some type of
altercation in the classroom and the teacher felt like he had to restrict the student's ability to
breathe to survive now the teacher did get arrested the teacher did resign but in new developments
we have learned that tashika knew about it the whole time and covered it up let's go to wfla
for the report please keith jen detectives say that this kid told deputies that he couldn't breathe. An investigator
said the teacher held that position for about four minutes. And we sent our kid to school
thinking they're safe. That's wrong. He's not going to respond. He can't. He can't. He's dying.
You're killing him. Caught on camera. Deputies say this is Progress Village Middle Magna School teacher Benny Leverett.
And they say this is a 14-year-old student.
Investigators say the 39-year-old teacher wrapped his right arm around the student's neck
and placed his other hand behind the teen's head, putting him in a chokehold.
The student told deputies there were various points when he couldn't breathe.
As court documents say, Leverett held this position for about four minutes.
Deputies say the school's assistant principal, 41-year-old Tashiska Fabian,
didn't notify authorities, something she's required to do by state law.
But the story doesn't end there.
Detectives say she told the student who recorded this video to delete it.
The school district says neither the teacher nor school administrator have been on campus
since this happened a few months ago.
Both face criminal charges tonight.
Here's the thing about stupidity, right?
It does not require unity and group operation.
It does not have to be a collective effort.
See, there is no need to make stupidity a relay race.
I don't need that baton passed to me. That's what Tashika did in this situation. to make stupidity a relay race. I don't need that baton passed to me.
That's what Tashika did in this situation. She made stupidity a relay race. Now, I don't know
why Benny Leverett felt the need to put this middle school student in a chokehold. I'm not,
you know, judging that man, okay? But for whatever reason, he decided to put this child in the
chokehold, okay? Now he got to deal with the law and that child's family. If there's a daddy in
the house, an uncle, a big
brother, I don't know why y'all be playing with folks'
kids like they don't have families.
Because now you got to square up, Benny. Okay, let's see
if that choke hold works on an adult.
He resigned, but he should have been fired
and he got arrested. This should be
Benny's cross to bear and no one else's,
but no!
Benny decided to pass the baton of stupidity
to Tashika. He didn't even pass it, she just took it. For whatever reason, Tashika pass the baton of stupidity that Tashika.
He didn't even pass it. She just took it. OK, for whatever reason, Tashika took the baton and ran with it because she failed to report this situation.
In fact, as you heard in the news report, she tried to get the video deleted.
Why? What's the point? You're the vice principal of the school.
Your job is to protect the students. If there is a teacher endangering the child in any way, that teacher got to go.
All right. That's what you got to go to the unemployment line and jail. I don't know the reason why you wouldn't report the matter to the child abuse hotline or law enforcement.
What are you protecting Benny for? OK, whatever student in that class recorded the whole incident,
did exactly what they were supposed to do. And you dead ass wrong for making them delete the footage.
You must have a personal relationship with Benny.ny okay that is the only logical explanation but if you have a personal
relationship with benny that's all the more reason why you shouldn't have attempted to protect him
especially when he was dead wrong okay you had other students say he's dying you're killing him
can we hear from uh some of the parents people are just teachers these teachers let's hear from
some of the teachers about what they uh thought? These teachers. Let's hear from some of the teachers about what they thought about this.
Teachers now weighing in.
I have my ethics in place and I will not be making contact with students unless they have approved on a high five or maybe a hug.
And a daycare provider saying this should have never happened.
Not a lot of kids.
So you're saying under no circumstance should a teacher ever
put a child in a chokehold no no you have to call for backup you as the vice principal completely
betrayed these kids trust it's bad enough a teacher would harm a student but when you have
the vice principal refusing to report the crime it's like where can we send our kids to be safe
who is protecting our children?
I know a lot of people opting to homeschool their kids for various reasons.
Full disclosure, I'm one of them, okay?
Kids don't like to be in schools anymore because they don't feel the work is stimulating them
and also because they feel like the teachers don't have their best interests, okay?
As the son of a school teacher, this breaks my heart, all right?
Please, anyone out there thinking of being in education, don't if your heart isn't in it.
If you don't actually care about the well-being of these youngsters, if you are looking at being a teacher or principal or a counselor in these schools as just a job, do us all a biggest favor and find something else to do.
We need people in these schools who inspire hope, who ignite the imagination in these kids, who instill
a love of learning in these kids. These adults be coming in these classrooms with their own issues
and they end up projecting their BS onto these students. You choked out this student for what?
All right. Someone else's child for four minutes. You know why? Not because something is wrong with
the kid, but because something was wrong with you. All right. We need students to trust teachers. You can't improve student teacher relationships by doing stuff like this.
But in order for that to happen, we need teachers.
Students can trust and we need to trust that principals are going to provide proper checks and balances and discipline when those teachers fall short.
Tashika, you failed. Okay? You failed that child.
All right?
And in the injustice to one child
is in the injustice to children everywhere.
They don't make adults like they used to.
Please give Tashika Fabian and Benny Leverett.
Matter of fact, let Remy Ma give Tashika Fabian
and Benny Leverett the biggest hee-haw.
Hee-haw, hee-haw.
You stupid mother******, you dumb.
Mm, mm-mm. I really don't understand why y'all be playing with people's kids like they don't have families. Hee-haw, hee-haw. You stupid mother******, are you dumb?
I really don't understand why y'all be playing with people's kids like they don't have families.
Right.
Nah, not at all.
I don't understand it.
Biggest fear in the world is like putting your babies into the world and just something like this happens.
That's a kid.
Yeah.
I mean, a person in general shouldn't be, you know what I mean?
Because now I got to go catch a child.
You got to catch a child. Now I got to go eat jail food.
Oh, hello? Now I got to go eat jail food. You got to catch a child. Now I got to go eat jail food. Oh, hello?
Now I got to go eat jail food.
And you know, about my child or my niece,
I'm going smiling.
That's what I'm saying.
Happily.
Now I got to go eat jail food
because you put your hand on my children.
Mm-hmm.
Come on now.
Matter of fact, I'm going to pre-order my food
because I'm headed there.
That's not how jail is.
Well, I'm going to figure it out.
You can't pre-order.
About my baby, I'm going to figure it out.
You can't pre-order.

and pork on Wednesday.
Call them and let them know I'm on my way. That's not how jail is. I'm on my way. The only thing't pre-order. About my baby, I'm going to figure it out. You can't pre-order. You can't ask for chicken on Tuesday and pork on Wednesday. Call them and let them know I'm on my way.
