Brickbats: February 2025

A former middle school teacher in Washington state was charged with unlawful imprisonment for locking a 14-year-old student in her classroom and forcing him to pray with her for more than an hour. According to court documents, the student stayed after class to apologize for being disrespectful, but the teacher locked the door and said he could not leave until they prayed. When the student said he was not religious, she called him "Satanás," which means Satan in Spanish.
