Angry Mother, Students Accused Of Beating Middle School Teacher In Hallway

A New York woman and her teenaged niece are accused of beating a middle school teacher to the point of unconsciousness on Wednesday.

Annika McKenzie, 34, is charged with second-degree assault and strangulation, according to ABC 7. Her 14-year-old niece is facing second-degree assault charges as a juvenile.

McKenzie allegedly became incensed because she believed that a math teacher at Alverta B. Gray Schultz Middle School in Hempstead, Long Island “put her hands on” her 12-year-old daughter, the New York Daily News reports.

The teacher, Catherine Engelhardt, was outside her classroom at around 2 p.m. when, cops said, McKenzie attacked her. McKenzie allegedly knocked Engelhardt to the ground, then put her in a chokehold until she lost consciousness, according to Pix 11. The niece allegedly joined in the attack by punching the teacher in the head, Hempstead Police Chief Michael McGowan told Newsday.

Several other students also kicked and punched the teacher, Hempstead Classroom Teachers Association President Elias Mestizo said in a press conference. It’s unclear if other students are facing charges.

Engelhardt, who has taught at the school for 22 years, told ABC 7 that she has felt unsafe at the school for a while. “I knew something violent was going to happen. I’ve warned them time and again that the children have no respect for adults.”
Officials say Engelhardt had scolded McKenzie’s daughter for bad behavior earlier in the day, and the girl later accused Engelhardt of touching her.

"As any loving parent, if someone puts their hand on your child, you're going to react," McKenzie’s attorney, Donald Rollock, told ABC 7.

Engelhardt is not facing any charges.

People don't seem to care if teachers get assaulted.

The teacher is not facing charges. The mother who beat her up is.

The Hempstead school system is awful. A real travesty.

Huge amounts of money are wasted on graft and corruption.

Note that virtually all the students are minorities, and a very high percentage are from single parent homes.

so what ed ? what has that got to do with teaching kids basic respect for authority ? because they're black, they're exempt from any rules ? because they're black instead of being labeled as out-of-control with no respect for anyone they're suddenly excused from normal, civilized behavior ? because they're black they're " entitled " to react with physical violence against ANY effort to civilize them / discipline them ?

this is sickening and unfortunately we see it over and over and over--this woman's ass needs to go to jail along with her niece

when oh when is enough going to be enough ?

 All of this.  

When does affirmative action end or celebration of diversity?  This situation is simply an assault. Plain and simple. Perhaps this situation is just an assault by an unbalanced parent on a teacher and that person was compelled by all the hatred in the news these days.

This school district is close to me. It's been labeled as a "failed school system" by New York State consistently for YEARS. 

NOTHING excuses this behavior. The point is that those schools are DANGEROUS.

If you're saying that the culture in the community is that adults / teachers / white people are not to be respected,

and this is taught by the parents, and there IS NO easy fix,

 

I agree with you completely.
