Rapper Cardi B is not a fan of classroom shenanigans, especially when it comes down to the harm of others.
On Thursday, the rapper issued a tweet slamming a viral video from a Texas middle school that showed students throwing a metal chair at a substitute teacher, causing a gnarly gash on his forehead.

“Disgusting this generation is really lost,” Cardi B said. “I went to school wit a lot of gangstas and no matter what they never put their hands on a teacher. Kids this is not respected, not cool, not funny, not tough,not gangsta … .it’s giving y’all p***y”
Many of Cardi’s fans agreed with the rapper, mentioning the importance of discipline.
“Whoever spares the rod hates their children, but whoever loves their children is diligent to discipline them,” another added.
Whoever spares the rod hates their children but whoever loves their children is diligent to discipline them. thankful that I stopped teaching—those kids should’ve gotten the rod. America took God and devotion out of schools, and those children need Jesus at school and home.

One follower of the rapper said the school system should be held responsible for the lack of respect for their teachers.
“I blame the school system for allowing the parents to dictate what they do all because they might donate funds to the school,” the user said.
I blame the schoolnsystem for allowing the parents to dictate what they do all because they might donate funds to the school. Paddling was a HUGE help back in school when we was in school, true enough some officials took it too far, but get rid of them , don't get rid of paddling

The incident occurred on Wednesday at DeSoto West, a middle school in Dallas, in the DeSoto Independent School District. The viral video shows the teacher throwing two chairs at students in his classroom following the initial assault—with the substitute teacher wiping blood from his head.
According to CBS in Dallas, a representative with the DeSoto Independent District confirmed that following the incident, the district decided to start its spring break immediately, canceling all classes for Friday.

DeSoto ISD said the incident is under review and all parties will be held accountable.
“DeSoto ISD is intent on reestablishing a culture and climate that emphasizes safety, security and educational excellence,” the school district said in a news release on Thursday.
One of the new rules that will occur after Spring Break will include more hallway monitoring and students will not be allowed to use their cellphones or headphones in class.
