Somali high school student punches teacher in the face over perceived gay overture
An attempt at anti-bullying went awry at Southwest High School in Green Bay, Wisconsin, leading to a teacher getting punched in the face.
Ridwaan Mohamud, a 17-year-old of Somali background, broke his teacher’s nose on December 21 after stewing all weekend over comments the teacher made the previous Friday.
Allegedly, in an attempt to assure Mohamud that he is “not ugly,” the instructor jokingly had told the student “I would date you.”
Mohamud’s family says that “the interpreted homosexual comment is extremely offensive.”

Well, there’s lots of issues with this one on all sides.
1.) The Student has a sexual harassment claim against the teacher (and the school). The teacher is a MORON, and shouldn’t need to be told that statement was inappropriate. The school district should have known better than to hire a MORON who would make a statement like that TO a student, given the bad press regarding teachers and students cavorting with each other even when entirely consensual (yes, yes statutory rape, rape culture, inability to consent due to age … I don’t care: a 13 year old is old enough to make decisions and if we as a culture stopped coddling them most WOULDN’T make such bad decisions because there would be CONSEQUENCES).
2.) The Teacher has an assault claim against the student (both civil and criminal). If the Student had punched the teacher in the nose IMMEDIATELY, the student probably would have been ok, because of the Teacher’s act (treated as an immediate breach of the peace). Since the student WAITED and stewed over the weekend, now there’s consideration time of how to act (unless the teacher said something more on Monday).
FYI for those who don’t know – the Somali culture is REALLY big on the whole anti-gay thing (both the Christians AND the Muslims) so the fact that this was highly offensive to the Student doesn’t surprise me one bit.
