A Texas school district said Tuesday it fired a teacher who deployed a high-pitched noise to punish the class with a piercing sound that one student described as “torture.”
The teacher played a “dog whistle” YouTube video during one period of class at Leland Edge Middle School in Nevada, Texas, on March 2, Community Independent School District told The Post.
The first-year teacher, who has not been named, had been under investigation since a student informed the district police department about the noise the same day it was played in the classroom.
One parent said the teacher used the noise as a form of punishment, one parent told KXAS.
“I would understand if the teacher used it for a split second to gain the attention of the class but not for the excess of 40 minutes. Not when kids are begging you to stop,” parent Janice Lohrs told KXAS.
