- A Louisiana teacher who questioned a school superintendent’s salary raise was removed from a school board meeting, then handcuffed, and the incident was caught on camera. In an exclusive interview with NBC’s Tammy Leitner, Deyshia Hargrave says it’s “sad” that it took a woman being forcibly removed from a meeting to get people engaged. She says her students who saw the video were “fine, so I’m fine.”

Deyshia Hargrave, Louisiana Teacher Handcuffed At School Board Meeting, Speaks Out | TODAY
Dude's gonna cry but still take that hefty raise. Okay...
he's crying that the raise wasn't big enough
I think he cut up a big onion just before his interview....😭
DED
If he truly felt concern for his family, he would take a lower pay raise, and give the rest to the teachers. People like this are all show, because the all mighty dollar speaks louder then his true love for his family.
Hes a total piece of crap. If you watch the interviews with him, he doesnt show any concern for the teachers, or apologize for what happened. Instead he just defends his raise because he doesnt make as much as other overpaid superintendents.
Superintendents should NEVER ask for a raise when his teachers have not had one in 10 years.
You do realise that teachers work on a scale? That individual teachers do get raises; it is just the scale that doesn't increase. I am not suggesting that the raise he got was reasonable, but saying that he shouldn't get a raised because of teacher salaries isn't comparing apples to apples.
bverji I think it does when he's taking credit for the stats the teachers are bringing in for him to even have access to a raise because of those stats.
Do you know that he doesn't deserve any or most of that credit? That is a large assumption. have you looked at the trends? And, regardless him taking credit for the increase in no way influences what I said previously. Teachers do actually get raises based on where they are on the scale, and what they do to progress on that scale. It is just that the scale hasn't changed. That is not the same thing as comparing the salary of a single contracted employee.
The money issue and the arrest issue are completely different. The officer was out of line. She did nothing wrong. She pulled her arm back because the officer was out of line in attempting to arrest touch her. Even if he had a right to arrest her (which he didn't) if she isn't a danger he is required to tell her what he is detaining her for and give her a chance to comply. the officer is the one who broke the law, not the teacher; which is why the prosecutor refused to press charges.
They probably get raises when too many teachers retire, and they can't convince anyone to move to grand rapids. They will have to lure teachers in by increasing their pay, then hope they stay not just use it for something to put on their resume.
What happened is a bunch of BS! If they are 6th in the state, then the teachers should have been given raises and bonuses too!
Someone that cares about the youth.
That is not what happened at all, Boats .. but your interruption is funny.
Boats, you need to go watch the other videos from start to finish to see what led up the arrest. The only time she raised her voice was after the cop got rough and pushed he to the floor.
AMEN, the teachers are the reason for the school doing good, no raises for them, this is not acceptable!!
tenure dumbfuck tenure...
They violated her civil rights.
*temporary privileges.
commies have no rights
Im from buenos aires and i say killem all!
We don't have those any more
+Verga Tusuave Service guarantees citizenship. Would you like to know more?
The board needs to be replaced, the officer needs to be fired.
Adam Perez Well the board is not the problem the problem is that the teachers didn't have the rights to vote or to speak. If they were given that option than this would have never happen. But, they weren't and the board was so technically it was more of a dictatorship than a democracy.
Reginald was only doing his job it’s the board that deserves consequences
The board voted on an absurd raise and attempted to silence a stern, yet civil, voice that they had only seconds before given permission to speak about exactly what she was speaking about. Then, they proceeded to not say anything as the officer removed her from the room for, again, speaking in a stern yet civil voice about what she had just been given permission to speak about. The board had every opportunity to NOT to any of those things, but they did, so they are the problem.
Jordan D you are completely right thanks for clearing it up
The officer was doing his job. She did not comply.
There is a good time for a superintendent to get a raise. It's at the same time the teachers do!
Hell's Mouth Lol. Agreed!
AMEN!!!
Also, it is one thing to get a raise it is another to get a 40% raise
Phillip Stewart if it was me, he'd've just shot me.
Philip Stewert there are a handful of people in the media making this a "women's issue" but you are just about the only one on the general public forums I have seen making it a gender issue. You are every bit as bad and agenda ridden about gender than those you are talking out against. Responding to posts with your own gender politics that have absolutly nothing in them about gender.
He is speaking with a tear in his voice. He should have thought about this before he tried to take a huge raise when the teachers doing the real work haven't had a raise in almost a decade.
icecreamlady driver The superintendent does real work wtf
Sitting in an office with 3 assistants doing all the work is real tough!
Altima NEO smh children
icecreamlady driver What are you talking about? You probably don’t even know what he does.
Phillip Stewart I agree with you.
Oh boo hoo. Did anyone else get nauseous when the super intendant started crying? He needs to go
I can’t even imagine the tears from the teacher and her family. Superintendent tearing up got no sympathy from me. As usual, it’s administrators who are the problem.
I rolled my freakin eyes. Ugh. He got the raise, meanwhile there are teachers and staff who are struggling to earn.
SUPERINTENDENT DID NOT LIKE A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE FROM THE PUBLIC. PUBLIC CONTINUE TO COME DOWN ON THESE IDIOTS.
I did.
Why? He wasn’t responsible for what happened at the meeting. He didn’t order the guard to arrest her.
It was no reason to arrest her ...
Its Sharlele thank you for telling me mrs obvious
Phillip Stewart but what he was doing wasn’t lawful
Phillip Stewart proof that she disobeyed ? Please
And what lawful order did the officer give?
What did she disobey?
Jerome can cry all he wants, but Mrs. Hargrave DID follow the rules! She was recognized by the meeting chairman, and it was only when she said something they didn't like that she became a "problem". Jerome and the other board members, and the cope cross the line.
Truman Eugene Officer Hiltz was only doing his job it’s the board that deserves consequences
I admire this woman for what she has done, It's people like Hargrove who have shaped this Country, I'm not embellishing here, that is the truth. Without those who stand up for what is right, you'd now be living in a society where you're never given a choice. I'd pin a medal on this woman if I could.
The officer's job is to uphold the law not act as the strong arm of the governmental authority. That is ecctly why we have a Bill of Rights.
tigergreg8 Is this really a big deal to be talking about. Women and men were at the meeting and only the woman complained about her pay.. I don’t know the full details of her arrest but it looks not right but maybe I’m wrong, maybe she did do something. This isn’t about women’s rights or any rights, this is only about a unjust decision about a police officer. There are always someone who’s racist or sexually discriminates but does that mean a movement should begin.. does that mean the majority is discriminating... does that mean I believe no ones equal? ( no, everyone is), so this whole situation is just stupid about “women’s rights”. Also does that mean if a police officer wrongfully does something, was it for sure their fault or was it a mistake with a call or a look alike gun that he thought was gonna threaten him.. no one actually knows unless there’s 100% evidence.
Sorry, Bryce but that is a BS post, there is almost nothing in this universe that has 100% evidence. And, to suggest that you can only make a judgment about something if you can prove every possible scenario 100% is an actual argumentative fallacy. it is called the Argument of Ignorance.
They took her away because they couldn't justify thier position .
Kathryn Ellison #TooTrue
Sad that all her other fellow teachers (who she was trying to speak up for) didn't seem to do much to aid her then or even now. She seems to be the only one willing to bear that scarlet letter.
Gin Ichimaru
If this was in the sixties or seventies they would have had a sit in. You're right it is a shame that they just sat there and did nothing. Bet they are standing up for her now even though it's too late. Hopefully something good will come out of this .
Kathryn Ellison wrong sir wrong! You lose! She stole fizzy lifting drinks. She broke the rules!
Kathryn Ellison, exactly. It is typical of a corrupt group. That board and superintendent should be fired. They are a shame for our children. If that crying hypocrite superintendent is sincere about his family, then he would do what is right and obviously in this case just took the money. Shame.
Daniel Kintigh boo. Not the right time for that joke
I can not believe Jerome let her get arrested and kicked out like that. I do not feel bad for him in the least. She was not out of line. The teacher should press charges and sue the school district and the superintendent for what happened to her. I almost cried watching the teacher be pushed like that to the ground. That’s uncalled for. She was leaving he did not need to handcuff her.
I agree 100 %
Geraldine Villatoro yes she should!!!! They don't have a chance of winning and what they did to her was not justified. The board was in the wrong on sooooooo many levels. The whole board needs to be fired along with that cop.
You should not be able to make rules that disable our constitutional rights! He should be arrested for such behavior including using the Marshall's office as his personal bodyguard, the marshall should have ignored everything till someone broke the Law not his rules.
Unfortunately that is how more and more town council, county commissioner meetings have been going for the past couple decades. It was only time before we saw it happen at a school board meeting too. Teachers are partially to blame because they have been participating in the system for the past 50+ years that indoctrinates in school and promotes submission to authority at all times even if the teacher, principal is wrong. Not allowed to question the teacher or staff you must accept what the teacher is told to teach as truth be it in academics or social values.
@igman1291
Why should anyone be able to make rules that violate one of our constitutional rights?
Henry Lafontaine, Contempt of what? Is that a courtroom or a judge? . Trespassing? If trespassing why wasn't she removed before the meeting? Was the board meeting open to the teacher and the public? The superintendent is the one that I find contemptible. It looks to me like he had her arrested for protesting his raise. That is my opinion until I know the answers to the questions. Hopefully, I won't get arrested for voicing it. It reminds me of the Corporations and the CEO's that make millions while their employees have 2 and 3 jobs or collect foodstamps.
Corruption at it's finest.
Pressing charges??? For what, speaking her mind? She did nothing wrong except speak out against the Injustice that corrupts the educational system today. Administrators are getting paid way too much, driving fancy cars, while their teachers are emptying their pockets to fund their classrooms. Pitiful for this man, whom I bet gets paid at least $30,000 more than his educators, would ask " when is it okay for ME to get a raise?"!
No, dummy. She's not in trouble for what she said. She's in trouble for how she said it.
Teachers pay for most of the stuff in their classrooms and work countless hours that they don’t get paid for making lesson plans, grading papers, and all that stuff. This man probably gets free lunch at these board meetings and gets to drive a nice car and live in a nice house while these teachers are just trying to get by. This is absolutely shameful.(I totally think the death threats thing is WAY to far though)
30K try 82K in another video they break down the salaries at the school. The absolute top salary for a teacher with a Ph.D. was 57K and change. I have no issue what anyone makes, if you can get it good for you but don't have the woman arrested when she calls out the hypocrisy of giving the administrator a raise when you have not given your teachers a raise in years. The nerve of the superintendent to say when is the right time to give him a raise is the funniest part of this. The answer, when you give your staff a raise! You are the number 6 school because of your teachers be kind enough to recognize them for there efforts.
Henry Lafontaine what law did she break?
im just glad she said it. it was so needed and a lot more still needs to be done. so much injustice happening in the educational system and political system which both come pretty much hand in hand.
I can't believe he was crying like if he was the one to get arrested. What if something happened to her in jail, what would he say. He and that school board needs to make a public apologize. And give those teachers a raise.
1. You don’t even know the amount of raise he got and what his original pay was.
2. It’s selfish to say he’s a crybaby.
3. The woman was wrongfully arrested but spoke out in a disorderly and disrespectful way. Still shouldn’t have been arrested, deemed unconstitutional.
4. Teachers get three months off the year.
5. Superintendent does not.
6. You don’t even know all the conditions to say if it was right or wrong for the raise, there’s not real evidence to support either sides raise; theirs always two sides to one story that isn’t being told because people wanna be right! The man has a right to shed some tears if his family had gotten death threats.
The super attendant did finally apologize. Really, it wasn't his fault. It was the officers and board president.
Bryce Schneider that's not true, his raise amount and current pay are public information.
Jack Hill Really send me the link so I can reshape my argument?
Bryce Schneider www.theadvertiser.com/story/news/local/education/2018/01/11/how-does-vermilion-superintendents-salary-compare-others-louisiana/1025208001/
The superintendent seems like a coward hiding behind his family and his "sisters". Also if they had a chance to win the school district would have pressed charges
The school district doesn't have any control over if charges are brought or not. That is completely up to the prosecutor. It is a misnomer that individuals have any control over charges being brought. As soon as the prosecutor saw the video he immediately refused to press any charges and that had nothing to do with the school board.
He got death threats and his family got death threats that not hiding behind
That marshal has been accused of excessive force before.
AnneMarie Bliss Yes his name is Reginald Hiltz and only because he was doing his job
La'shae Wilson lots of people have to deal with difficult situations, he just didn’t need to be so aggressive. I would invite you to put yourself in her place and then say he was just doing his job. I’m fairly sure 99.9% of working people would be fired and or arrested for his actions
He's a Philip Brailsford about to happen any day now. Don't be Daniel Shaver in that town.
I don’t believe this was a race issue. At least I hope not. It’s Martin Luther King Day. I think he would weep to see how little progress we’ve made
I would love to write to that marshal. Does anyone know his name? He violated her rights.
After the teachers... not before is a good time for your raise.
Especially not 30,000.00 raise. That is so BS.
Wtf is that whiny dude crying about? Grow up buddy and look at the real issue! He doesn't even deserve the money he currently makes!
Wow he stabbed her in the back and acts like he's bleeding
When's a good time for teachers to get raises? The classes are ranked top 10 but what's the pay of the teachers ranked? Notice he only mentions the Superintendent pay ranking?
They are ranked 47th or 46th somewhere around there. So better than the super independent, but not by much. Everything considered a raise pretty much had to be done, but not nearly what he got.
Boogie Loo Great question
Can't be too high if teachers haven't had a raise in 10 years and they were given a pay cut so that an assistant to the superintendent could be hired. You do know being ranking 49th for the second year in a row as one of the worst in educational ranking of all states is not a good thing.
Teachers are working with what parents are sending to school. It is time to listen to teachers about how to make the system work for kids.
For Vermilion Parish to be ranked 10th in the state of Louisiana is not really a big deal. Thank goodness for South Carolina which was ranked dead last.
Boogie Loo 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
bverji A $30,000 raise is ridiculous. When I was a teacher (with a Master’s degree), we’d get maybe a $2,000 raise every three or four years.
If they have money for him there should be money for the teachers. Good teachers need good pay. Those at the top lining their pockets. If a supervisor of a top district needs a pay rise maybe those who are not performing need a pay CUT???!!!
She needs to press charges!
shmeet why?
________Did you not watch the video? It was clearly an unlawful use of force by an officer of the law.
EDIT - And it calls into serious question the reasonableness of how that board handles statements from the people. The board works FOR the citizens, not the other way around.
Red Forman It was a violation of her constitutional right to freedom of speech, and the amount of force used by the officer was incredibly excessive.
___________Actually, technically, it's not a free speech issue if the board has rules in place, like most do, that limit comments from the people to being on-topic. That's not unreasonable nor is it unconstitutional. However the opinion of the Chairman that her comments weren't germane to what they were voting on was a poor judgement call and obviously he just wanted to shut her up for his own personal reasons. That's where the problem started. He's not fit for public service, he's a selfish little man and the people should force him to resign.
exactly right. i hope a petition is to clarify the superintendent's directions of that arrest is ongoing
His crocodile tears are nothing more than to gain sympathy. What a fake. This teacher was NOT out of line and her questions were directly affiliated with the topic at hand (if you watch the entire video .. not this one that has been edited). The board did not like her question ... they did not want to answer it .. so this is how they handled it. Shame on them .. and shame on the disgusting superintendent.
Lisa Carmack Here here!
+AdamAddictL
Omg! STFU with your passive aggressiveness!
You want Lisa Carmack to STFU, TELL HER!
Jade Chen Lolwut??? I think you are confused....Here here means I agree with everything she said lol
Public records show base salaries for Vermillion Parish teachers last year ranged from $39,458 to $58,658. The superintendent’s $30,000 raise ($110,190 to $140,188) is more than half of most teachers’ salaries. YEAH RIGHT...Cry me a river Mr. Vermillion Parish School Superintendent!
SR Key I love that his justification is "the other superintendents get more money than I do! When do I get more??"
But he works twice as hard!
/S
No she.. should be pressing charges, They can't press charges she hasn't broken any laws or regulations.
Speaking your mind in America isn't a an offence yet is it.
jim broker She still did nothing wrong. If anything, they are infringing her freedom of speech.
jim broker don't talk rubbish charge for what??
jim broker she wasn't even arrested she was restrained and then released outside of the building but even this is wrong you do not restrain somebody without due cause. She was in a public meeting she had every right to speak! and no right to be withheld and removed forcefully. A officer cannot just remove somebody on hearsay they have to get the fax from the person as well? Otherwise you get miscarriages of Justice like the poor man who got shot after the phone call.
Police don't just arrest people and they have to be charged!! for an offence before a court hearing is issued.
Just who do you think got the high awards for this school. THE TEACHERS that who.
“I have to use a silver spoon instead of a gold one now. Other superintendents don’t have to do that!”
yeah you go girl! teachers deserve to be paid better! Classrooms need more funding. How you gunna not give a teacher a raise, and then expect them to buy ALL of the school supplies for their students. AND THEN ALSO GIVE SOME S*** BAG WHO PRETENDS TO CRY A RAISE...
This is part of a great problem that is statewide in my opinion (I live in Louisiana). It's very backward in many ways.
It's not just Louisiana. It's pretty much the entire United States.
David Wilde BACK WOODED , SLOW , ULTRA COUNTRY , TRAILER DUMP , just to name a few
Each and every person who witnessed that should put in a formal complaint against that so called officer for abuse of power, assault and violating her rights as a citizen of that parish. It will follow him the rest of his career and affect his raises and promotions. He is ignorant to the law and acted like a power mad deputy. Please file formal complaints !!!
Why was she arrested though? Why was security even called? She just asked why the teachers didn’nt get a raise in 10 years
Notice he presses the issue of rules, not what's right.
Sometimes you can do wrong without breaking a rule, and sometimes breaking a rule is the right thing.
She was right and he was wrong, screw the rules.
That school board guy that gave the nod needs to go.
Couldn’t she press for charges? What rule did she violate? This is confusing.
She should sue the police department sue the board sue the school and she should get she deserves all the money she gets that's a total embarrassment everybody should stand by this woman until that guy is thrown out of his job and the police officer too he needs to go also
I'm not one to comment much on anything, but wow. This is wild. I understand superintendents have a lot on their plates and should be paid accordingly, but take a step back. Almost no teachers getting a raise in a DECADE??? Educators being underpaid is absolutely outrageous but happens way too often. She had every right to react the way she did because people like her are the ones actually doing the work and making a difference. Teachers, instructors, professors- they are the ones educating the future. They are the ones changing the lives of children each and every day. They are the ones that rightfully deserve the raise. Like another comment said, the right time for the superintendent to get a raise is when the teachers get one too.
does someone whos already making 100k+ really need a raise anyway??? really????
Actually the teachers that live here in vermilion parish only make about 38k a year so
He said his making about 57k.. He wants 60+k
People should get paid what their worth. I think some people would be worth more than 100k/ yr
Andrew Lively okay "school superintendent" isn't a 100k job.. Its not even close to that difficult. The only job thats worth 100k and above is some types of medical jobs.
Fuentes it said his salary is RANKED 57th among superintendents in Louisiana. His actual salary is over 100k, and with this raise will be closer to 140k.
“When should a superintendent get a raise?” Umm well definitely not at a time when your teachers haven’t gotten one for a decade...
Teacher needs to sue. She was recognized by the Board Chair and then forcibly removed because he did not like her comments. Three superintendent is missing the larger and more important issue: First Amendment rights are far more valuable than your undeserved raise. Save the tears for your next job interview.
Equal work , equal pay! Deyshia I commend you for standing up.How can anyone justify getting any
extra pay with out everyone getting a fair share. Now you know when this person runs for Supt. Parents know to vote some body else in who is interested in the childrens education. And not vacation for him self, Deyshia you are my hero!
Well, they don’t DO equal work, they have different jobs. They won’t get equal pay because the job of the superintendent has more responsibility overall.
But they SHOULD all get their raises on the same schedule.
Also, people do not get paid based on how hard they work, but how much value they add. You may work very hard, but if you don't acquire skills that are hard to come by, are able to document those skills, aren't able to hold down the same job so you can advance then you will not be paid the same...nor should you.
Superintendent and teacher are not equal positions.... think
if you want an example of "Equal pay" and "Equal work" take a look at soviet Russia when communism was a thing, also just saying you can't think that a super attendant and a teacher should have the same salary, if you do then you are actually stupid. Schools that don't have a ton of money (which is most schools) would not be able to afford a raise for teachers of that kind and would cause a mass lay off for a job already in serious demand and if the teacher doesn't like the salary then, why go into that career?
Your on the right track for the most part but the way you worded it sounded more like socialism than equality.
What this fool crying for? 👀 jeez
Samantha Castillo because his family is being threatened for something they didn’t ask to be brought in.
Crocodile tears.
What the $30k raise a year smells good, but he cries from the controversy? He needs to get a pair like he deals with kids and stressful days
Classic sociopathic manipulation...
Samantha Castillo MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY
She should run against him in their next election! That happened in another state. A teacher ran against the superintendent I think for making fun of the women's march. He mocked her in a meeting. She got up walked out ran against him and won! Take their jobs away from them!
Carol L Best comment :)
I'm a woman and even I thought the Women's March was dumb.
Assassin San That isn't the point here.
Carol L Hey, I was just saying. I never said it was the point.
Assassin San ok then! Have a nice evening.
This story should be so much bigger than it is. Her first amendment right was taken away at that meeting. She was arrested for that? Proper discipline should be brought on anyone who was a part of her getting kicked out.
He's saying that it's not fair that he's getting death threats but it wasn't fair that she was arrested when she had the right to free speech
The superintendent is acting like he's the victim
I commend the teacher for standing up to this greedy greedy greedy man. I hope some very talented lawyers have been knocking on her door.
Question everything! If your tax money is being spent, you need to make sure it's for a good cause, not for the personal gain of one person.
Oh boohoo Mr. Superintendent. Shame on you! You don't deserve a raise before your teachers get one. This woman did nothing wrong. You on the other hand tried to forcibly silence her. Shame on you. Shame. Shame. Shame. #standbydeyshia
The school isn't pressing charges? For what? She should sue the school board, And the uneducated city so called law enforcement marshal.
Did the superintendent just tried playing the victim Card after getting that young lady forcefully ejected out of the meeting and placed on under arrest with a video evidence that will hunt her for the rest of her life for just having a different opinion to his. Omg this man needs to run for Senate
What I don't understand is, do they not get ib trouble for abusing power when arresting someone? I live in thr netherlands. Tbay cop and the superintendents would have been called to the bureau aswell.
Welcome to the New America -- home of the formerly Brave!
They just have to lie and charge her with disorderly conduct, THEN they seem like the "good guys" at least on paper.
America has always been like this. Nothing new here.
Blaming the cop is stupid. It wasn't the cops idea to arrest her and she was not hurt or mistreated. What does being female have to do with it any way? I thought men and women were equal in every way. The story here is government corruption and abuse of power, not a cop hand cuffing a lady. If this was the Netherlands that lady probably would have been attacked for speaking in a public meeting. Which we all know is haram.
The security person was not a cop. He was a school resource person. In other words, a security guard. He was dressed like a cop and outfitted like a cop, but he was not a cop. When Ms. Hargrave was taken outside, someone threaten to call the sheriffs office. In response the security person said, I don't work for the sheriff. What does that tell you.
It was NOT her fault the superintendent got death threats. She DID follow the rules and made valid comments. She couldn't have known that she would have been treated so unfairly and the video went viral. I'm not for anyone, no matter how corrupt they are, receiving death threats but if he and that officer had treated her with respect, the video would not have gone viral. He makes me sick!
That teacher is a hero for all teachers for speaking out!
When your anthem goes like "the land of the free" and then this happens... sad 👉
LOL THE FAKE TEARS ARE THE BEST PART
OH and The board needs to be replaced, the officer needs to be fired.
Fire all the supers, and sue the crap out of them.
He had to think of something fast to use as an ATTEMPT to gain sympathy, lying about receiving death threats just makes him a bigger slimeball - his family must be so proud of him, what a brilliant role model - can we please give this manipulating, deceitful, thief of a man a round of applause? He really does deserve it! To the teacher: BRAVO and A+! To the crooked board members: I'd be giving a WHOLE LOT
of consideration to stepping down now, evacuate before the storm hits full force (it's coming) and NEVER consider yourself worthy to sit on any other board, do yourself that favor and don't even think about it!
I saw these people at my school this morning and I was happy for Mrs.Deyshia.all of the teachers at Rene Ross deserve a raise.And they deserve to have the right to speak.When I commented on the video when it first was posted,and I spoke what I thought,there were people who were supportive,and so was my family,they were surprised I was speaking up for Mrs.Deyshia when they read the comment.Everyone has the right to speak us for themselves,and nobody should be able to take that away from you.Standing up for yourself and others is important.I am glad all of this is happening.It shows people not to be afraid to speak up for themselves.
I wanna know, What could she of been charged for talking? "The school district will not be pressing charges" WHAT CHARGE?
Follow the rules. Where are these supervisors following the rules. I will tell you this, things like this will never go unnoticed or forgotten. Those who execute unlawful power and wrongful authority over others will indeed face consequences when they go back to the other side.
A couple extremely important questions that will be asked of you, How did you treat others, and did you treat them fairly?
Were you honest in all of your business dealings? This board failed miserably.
When a teacher, who's rightfully concerned, and standing up for so many others, is arrested and treated, in my way of seeing it, (abused) for speaking up, then those who show forth their so-called power, will have to answer to it.
A raise of $30,000 when one teacher there is probably not making much more then that , because of being ignored financially , for others gain, well, I don't want to be in your shoes. Enjoy the money now, because you won't have it later.
The guy that caused this was Crying like a little child, because of “all the nasty comments” *Oh Really..?* 🤦🏼♀️
So, was The teacher that was dragged to her knees and handcuffed, was She Blubbing away about her injustice and vile treatment...?
*No* she wasn’t ..!
Watching the injustice and hypocrisy of every day events like this, makes me so mad...I could swear like a Marine 🤬
Sandra Le Vett Because of the *death threats* his family received. It's not just "nasty comments". They had nothing to do with it, and his heart breaks that they have to go through this.
case based In a state that is known for hanging Black people and fire bombing their homes, that is how they do it in the South except now a White man family is being threatened. He's lucky someone didn't burn down his house. Remember those 4 Black girls who died in a church bomb. Does not feel too good when it's on the other feet. The South is still the south, and the superintendent understands what it means to be in Trump country.
margaret thomason He should be happy his family got death threats because...atleast they didn't commit arson? Alright, Margaret.
margaret thomason Do you still truly believe that crap? Yes, there are still racists out there, but people aren't lynching blacks. Why? Because that's illegal. Also for your information, I hope you know that the Democrats were the ones who had slaves in the past and tried to secede from the north. Trump didn't magically make America a racist country within a year.

This may be a surprise to you but lynching was never legal, nevertheless hundreds were lynched, churches and homes bombed and set on fire. In fact it was the accepted way to control an entire race of people and kept them in their place through fear.
And, yes, the data does show an increase in hate crimes, directly because Trump has made it more comfortable for racist to show their cowardly faces and say what others are thinking once again. Two out of 5 of the largest number of mass killings happened in 2017. Racism was on full display in Charlottesville where a protestor was killed.
Racism as been alive and well in America for a long time. But Trump has fueled hatred based on religion, against the handicapped, minorities, with policies that favor the rich over the poor and others. So, yes, the greatest leaders of our country have set the tone and embraced policies that tried to include all people and left the country better than they found it.
Finally, what is the source of your information concerning Democrats being the ones owning slaves. Sounds like a myth, since most southerners did not even own slaves. History books showed poor Whites regardless of party supported slavery as much as poor and middle class White today support tax reduction even though they will least benefit.
The Superintendent gotta go. WE KNOW YOURE LYING
I have zero sympathy for that superintendent!
Those superintendents are SO selfish!! Those teachers deserve that money for those classrooms!! That superintendent can save those crocodile tears! Those kids need that more than anything. 🙄 Every school board is like this though and it's sickening.
"You gotta follow the rules" ... What rules? You wouldn't believe how many times I saw students being punished by our abusive principal because of rules he made up on the spot.
She got arrested and he's the one crying? Hope this dude didn't pull a muscle reaching for his sympathy card.
So if she doesn’t agree then she deserves to be arrested!!! Give me a break crybaby!!
she followed the rules Pat. are you that stupid, did you see the whole video?
She's dim, don't worry.
Shes a communist democrat they are known to cry.
Rat Trap supervisor And you are known to lie.
Pat C troll
This is an example that the teacher should get a raise, and woooooow the superintendent was clearly abusing his power. He says that she had to follow the rules, but it was a meeting and so of course all voices should be heard and contradicting that he asks her to be arrested. Doing that is...against the rules. "Of course classrooms need money," he says but I bet that he's still giving himself that welllllllllllll-deserved raise. Practice what you preach boiiiiiiiiiiiii
I had to watch the video again just to see if my comment is decent...and o god...if this guy gets that raise right after these events...actually if he still has his jobbbbbb...it just proves that actions are meaningless as they shouldn't be. All this guy has to do and speak and "sound" like a good guy (though he isn't, clearly) he'd be fine. Anyone know how people can influence their school district and dooooo something about this issue of unfair pay or anything else? Teachers are vital part of our community since they educate and prepare us for our future. :)
"I don't support our people getting arrested, I do not. I do however like that money lining my pockets. Sorry, sister. See ya on the outside!"
atta girl! Thank you for being a good citizen.
Why is it that the board only removes the women from their meetings and not the men who bring up the same questions/comments? Why didn't the board follow the rules they set in place in their instruction manual? They are sexist, backwards and sad. They stomped on her 1st Amendment Right to freely speak about the topic at hand. AND SHE IS RIGHT! Teacher's work their heart out for our kids. They deserve better pay. Last year over 600 million was spent on the military. Our men and women who serve deserve to be well payed, but if it weren't for teachers there wouldn't be anyone in the military to defend our rights. Look at the raises they have for congress and the breaks they get! These teachers deserve so much more than they get. Do superintendents deserve to have a raise? Sure, BUT, teachers deserve them too.
Thats was like 50% accurate. A. It wasn’t about sexism it was about greed. B. The Military would definitely exist without teachers C. Over 95% of The 600 million spent on the military goes towards equipment, planes, weopens, etc. not their salary D. Teachers don’t deserve higher pay than Military officers. E. The main goal of the military is not defend our rights to establish dominance as a world power. Isolationism instead of interventionism would do more to protect your rights.
The Beast You missed my point entirely. I said that what they did was sexist not that sexism was what it was about. The money that went to the military could've gone elsewhere like schools and teachers, scholarships, paid the national debt down, something other than weapons and planes. ALSO I never said that teachers should be paid more than those in the military, I simply said they should be paid more.
First, by saying they are sexist you pretty much said the problem is sexism, which is wrong. She was the one that brought up the topic as an issue, where as everyone else merely agreed. This means she is seen as the cause of this now embarrassing situation for the board, so they chose to remove her. This never involved anyone being sexist, just simply corrupted.
Tuan Le This board has a history of removing only women who question them therefore... they ARE sexist. This woman was not showing any disrespect, she did not raise her voice to them, she was recognized by the board to speak about the topic at hand, and when the superintendent began to respond to her the board told him to be quiet and had her forcably removed. She caused no problems, she just asked a question.
Heathen Cosmos history of being sexist? I need to see proof of this. I refuse to let this be a debate about sexism.
“Stop resisting.” WHAT EVEN
Disgusting. The super definitely deserves all of those threats.
MJ GreenRoom No..... the threats are un neccasary and childish.
Did she go over the 3min? Was she refusing to let others speak? These are the questions i want answered.
look up perris elementary school district, this happened there children were shoved by board members and parents threatened teachers treated like crap and superintendent gave himself a 50k raise while the schools were under staffed and falling apart! happens everyday! im glad this was taped and brought to light because it happens too often
A 30k raise? And wow
I stand with Deyshia! #standwithDeyshia
Pressing charges on what? Why don’t you cover the real story on what’s going to happen to that deputy and the school board for abuse of power?
stay strong deyshia. more people should stand up for what they believe is right. this a lesson we should all teach our children
Well its not fare that the teachers don't get a good pay. Enough with higher position people in the work place keep the money. I know people in high position where they don't have the experience but do have family members in the work place who put them in those positions. When people with the most great experience can't get those positions. Sad to say but you have to know someone to get a really good position in a work place (any company). Corruption all the way in our schools!
I’m glad he’s being harassed giggle ❤️
Unreal! Superintendent should step down, officer should be fired! Speak up people! I admire her!
Whole board and this superintendent should be fired. They are clearly unfit to be in those positions….. Americans should not stand this kind of behavior.
you're under arrest for refusing an arrest
AvryQuick _What’s the reason for the arrest though?_
He cries because he needs a victim mask. In real life, the man is heartless.
He was already being paid 117,000 dollars a year! WAY more than the norm. She’s my hero!
If the teachers don’t get a raise. Neither do you buddy. That’s how it works.
Hargrave is completely right and completely righteous. @johannaclear
A white woman named Deyshia? The world really had changed.
BLCK Check ikr I was thinking the exact same thing!!!
Ok I'm not alone 😂😂😂 the name, the spelling, I thought for sure she was anything but what she turned out to be lol
It's pretty common in Abbeville. We like sassy sounding names. lol! 😂😂😂
His district does so well BECAUSE of his teachers. As a former teacher, I will never understand how such an important role in our society is paid so little. And it COSTS teachers to teach. Teachers pay out of their earnings for get what they need for the classroom, lessons, etc. I'm sure that man works hard, but for the teachers not to have received a raise in a decade?! His $38k raise is insulting.
SUE THEM!!!!!! SUE THEM!!!! SUE THEM!!!!! INTO OBLIVION & BEYOND!!!!!! SUE THEM FOREVER!!!!!!!
Trumps america.. Where teachers get arrested for speaking up lol
Honestly I'm surprise I don't see a comment about the cop being black and the person being white and how it would be the other way around. 2018 has brought some type of change at least
the board and super need to be fired. That officer needs to 1, be fired and 2 be reminded what would have happened to him in the state of louisiana 60 years ago
Awfully big for the school board to not press charges as if they have any choice, what so ever, if charges are pressed in an arrest.
Bet she was the first one to scream blue lives matters when force was used before. She escalated the situation. She did this to herself.
MAYBE the other districts aren't ranked as high because they give all the money to the superintendents instead of the schools
By arresting her they lost control, and a mole hill became a mountain.
Bravo.... Keep up the good fight, this is not Nazi Germany.
