A Georgia middle school teacher resigned after he tossed an 11-year-old student across the classroom and allegedly made sexual remarks about the child’s mother.

DeRenne Middle School student, identified as TJ, stood up from his desk and approached his teacher BeTreylin Elder at the front of his classroom to stop him from talking about his mom, according to WTOC.

“I was told that he had a share of words that were inappropriate to TJ and that he had made some remarks about me and my son was unhappy with it,” Che’Nelle Russell told the outlet.

TJ and Elder, who is also the school’s football coach, exchanged several words with each other before the educator grabbed the 11-year-old’s chest, footage of the altercation showed.

Elder lifted the student off the floor and effortlessly flung him into a desk near other students.

TJ allegedly told Elder to “stop talking about my mom” and wanted to call him about the teacher’s remarks.

“From that point, he was then grabbed and thrown to the floor like nothing,” Russell explained.

As TJ attempted to get off the ground, Elder stood directly over him.

Russell, who doesn’t know Elder, says the school system failed her as the violent throw has caused her to have a lack of trust in the school.

The preteen told his mom that Elder’s remarks were “sexual in nature” with one saying “that he left his shoes at TJ’s mom’s house,” Russell told the outlet.

School officials removed Elder from the classroom and reassigned him to a different location away from students.

TJ suffered a concussion and multiple bruises and was brought to the emergency room after school Friday, the outlet reported.

Elder submitted his resignation to the school district over the weekend.

The hastily timed resignation didn’t sit well with Russell who wanted further discipline against Elder.

“He needs to be placed in jail. He hurt my boy. I’m heartbroken because I wouldn’t do that to my child. His father wouldn’t do that to him. So for him to take the initiative to do that is sickening,” Russell said.

No lawsuits or criminal charges have been filed against Elder, according to Savannah Morning News.

In October, a 27-year-old Brooklyn teacher put a 15-year-old student in a headlock injuring the pupil to the point of hospitalization.

The shocking incident at the High School for Sports Management took place on Oct. 29 Tuesday, sending the injured student to Maimonides Midwood Community Hospital in Brooklyn.

The teacher, Gary Zeng, allegedly attacked the youngster after he entered his classroom without permission, sources told The Post.

Zeng was taken into custody and charged with second-degree strangulation, criminal obstruction of breathing, endangering the welfare of a child, and third-degree assault, police said.

The student suffered neck injuries.

ATLANTA, Ga. (Atlanta News First) – What a difference four years can make.

A new poll from the University of Georgia measuring the state’s voter confidence in the recent 2024 presidential election showed a 14% increase in trust from the 2020 results.

In 2020, perhaps the most contentious race in political history, only 78% of Georgia voters expressed confidence in the election results, the survey showed. This year, 92% of all polled voters said they were trusting of the counting process and ultimate results.

“I think trust is the real standard when society is so polarized,” said Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. “The proof is in the pudding, the proof is in the numbers. What we have is accurate. The machines are good. We have these great election workers. It’s all come together.”

Raffensperger was the target of lawsuits and violent threats after the 2020 election in Georgia went to President Joe Biden. Much of it circulated around election misinformation.

The new numbers showed that people had more trust this year.

Among Republicans, 98% of polled voters who said they were Republicans trusted the 2024 vote, compared to just 60% in 2020.

Democrats saw their trust go down in 2024. This year, 84% of self-identified Democratic voters had confidence in the vote tally, compared to 96% in 2020.

“Sometimes when people’s candidate doesn’t win, their trust isn’t as high as when their candidate does win,” said Raffensperger. “We get that.”

It’s a refreshing sign for Raffensperger, who is currently serving his second term as Georgia’s secretary of state.

“Some of the water has been calmed in Georgia,” he said. “That gives voters trust, and trust is the gold standard.”
