Rich just get richer and abuse the little people. This is going to back fire in the end.
Deyshia Hargrave couldn't believe her Louisiana school district's superintendent was slated to get a raise while teachers like herself struggled. So she spoke up at a school board meeting.
"You're making our job even more difficult," she told the Vermilion Parish school board, according to video from
CNN affiliate KATC.
"A superintendent or any person in a position of leadership getting any type of raise, I feel like it's a slap in the face to all the teachers, cafeteria workers, and any other support staff we have."
Hargrave was called on twice during the public session of the school board's meeting. But KATV video shows that as she continued sharing her concerns, a city marshal hired by the school district escorted Hargrave out and handcuffed her in a hallway.
The video shows Hargrave screaming, "What are you doing?" at the marshal.
But school board member Laura LeBeouf expressed dismay after Hargrave was taken away.
"What happened here tonight -- the way that females are treated in Vermilion Parish ... I have never seen a man removed from this room," LeBeouf said.
Ike Funderburk, Abbeville's city attorney and prosecutor, told KATC he won't be prosecuting the teacher.
"I have reviewed the video and I am not going to approve any charges against the teacher," Funderburk said. "I talked with the attorney for the school board, and they do not wish to pursue any charges against the teacher."
The school board ended up approving the raise for Superintendent Jerome Puyau, whose salary increased from $110,190 to $140,188, KATC reports.
In a statement, Louisiana Association of Educators President Debbie Meaux denounced the way Hargrave was treated at the meeting.
School board Presiden Anthony Rontana thought it was handle correctly LOL.
