A disturbing video of the incident that allegedly used a racial slur led to a violent altercation between a substitute teacher in Las Vegas and a high school student who had asked him to leave the classroom.
Re’Kwon Smith, 27, instructed the unidentified girl son at Valley High School on Thursday when he advised him to leave the room after allegedly saying the word “n-word,” according to KLAS.
The student reportedly made the actual call when he “grabbed” Smith’s clothing, but the sub dramatically escalated the situation rather than acting as an adult.  ,
Before the girl is knocked down, Smith and the student exchange haymaker jabs, according to images taken by different individuals in the doorway. The child was attempting to cover his brain while curled up on the marble floor when Smith struck him once more.
The alternative remained hovering over the young and appeared to be yelling just ins away from his mouth until another students actually broke the pair up.
