UPDATE>>> MUGSHOT https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/indiana-teacher-hit-student-arrested-231250430.html

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/video-shows-indiana-teacher-slam-student-s-head-against-a-wall-before-he-collapses-to-the-ground/ar-AAUwGtS

The video begins with Hosinski following the student, who is barely as tall as the teacher’s chest. Hosinski breaks into a jog to catch up with the student and reaches him after rounding a corner.

Once Hosinski catches up to the student, he grabs the student by his backpack and roughly pushes him into the wall.

The next sequence of events comes fast, as Hosinski points his finger in the face of the student before quickly delivering an open-handed strike to the child’s face, causing his head to rock back into the wall and knocking his hoodie down.

After hitting the student, Hosinskiy grabs him again and begins to walk him down the hallway, but something isn’t right.

In the video, the student can be seen pressing his hand to his head and stumbling forward, after only a few steps, the child collapses out of Hosinski’s grip and onto the ground.

--------------------

“Hosinski told the class Hillary and Obama are criminals, President Donald Trump is great, and Democrats are liars. He told them abortion should be illegal,” the statement complaint alleged. “My student says ‘he told the class Bill Clinton’s friend takes little girls to a sex island and anyone who finds out is killed. Korea has nukes, something about Muslims taking over, and something about gay people getting married.’”

An Indiana 'Teacher of the Year' was caught on camera hitting a student. Now he's allowed to retire early.


ELKHART, Ind. — An Indiana school board voted unanimously this week to grant an early retirement to Jimtown High School teacher Mike Hosinski, who was captured on video striking a student on the head during morning classes last week.

Hosinski will be allowed to retire, effective last Friday, and collect his pension. The decision was applauded by dozens of parents who defended the longtime social studies teacher during a school board meeting at Jimtown High in Elkhart.

Parents who spoke at the meeting said Hosinski's actions came as a shock but were indicative of a larger problem, pointing to what they claimed was a lack of support for teachers who face repeated disciplinary problems among students.

Before the meeting started, a man who identified himself as the student's father entered the room fuming and shouting expletives at administrators. He was eventually escorted from the room.

"A grown, 280-pound man smacked my son in the face!" the parent screamed after Baugo Superintendent Byron Sanders approached him.

The man later told a South Bend Tribune reporter that his attorney would have more to say about the incident.

Earlier that day, students staged a walkout at the school in support of the teacher many described as 'laid back.'

Not one parent publicly spoke out against Hosinski, WNDU reported.

'I still back Mike Hosinski,' a parent said hours after the video was released.

Hosinski had been a teacher for 40 years and named Teacher of the Year at Jimtown in 2020, according to WNDU.

[stumpysbear]

1. Allowed to retire early and collect his pension

Per a unanimous vote of the school board.

[Demovictory9]

4. slap was for wearing a hoodie to class

[radical noodle]

43. Unless that school has its own pension plan

which I doubt, the pensions are controlled by the teacher's union. There's an age requirement and a years-of-teaching requirement that determines when the pension begins payout, and since this guy has taught for 40 years, he's probably already qualified. Also, being fired would not have kept him from getting the pension, so that's just thrown into the story by someone who either doesn't understand the system or wants to sow outrage.

[thesquanderer]

49. Agreed. Lots of comments here that he shouldn't get the pension, too. But...

...as you said, there are contracts. Retiring after x years (even if earlier than planned), or even getting fired, or even slapping a kid, or even being civilly sued after hitting a kid, or even being criminally prosecuted for hitting a kid, or even being criminally convicted for hitting a kid... Unless it's in the contract, none of that is grounds for withholding pension.

[radical noodle]

54. Exactly...

The way to "take his pension" is to sue him and win and take it in that roundabout way.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

63. Absolutey

The reality is that they let him officially retire early instead of meeting the deadlines. All that means is that he can draw his pension now and not wait until the next period that he can go in.

[radical noodle]

78. If he's been teaching 40 years

he's almost certainly met the deadlines to receive his pension in Indiana. He should fall into the qualification of age 55 with 30 years of service. If he hasn't met the deadlines nothing the school says about the retirement will give him his pension any sooner.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

81. Not in Indiana

but we have had teachers that had to retire and they were allowed to take their pension even though they missed the deadline for application on an emergency basis.

[radical noodle]

91. So many variables depending where one lives

but it's a moot point with this guy. The school board calling it "early retirement" was misleading, and I wonder if they did it purposely or due to ignorance.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

2. Lock him up

Assault and battery on a minor, at the bare minimum. NO to being allowed to retire. NO to his fucking pension.

How in the hell is this thug even allowed to "teach" such shit in class in the first place? Then to think he's allowed to chase down a student, grab them, shove them into the wall and hit them in the head with enough force that it smacks into a wall?!

Had the student's father whooped this "teacher's" ass? I'd be one of the first to applaud him. He wasn't the one who should've been escorted from the room. Herr Hosinski should've been... in handcuffs.

LOCK. HIS. ASS. UP!

[Demovictory9]

3. Criminal charges could be coming for Jimtown HS teacher who slapped student, attorney says

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crime/criminal-charges-could-be-coming-for-jimtown-hs-teacher-who-slapped-student-attorney-says/ar-AAUtYL5


“It probably ranges from battery which is in consented touching. Depending from there, how extensive the conduct was, how aggressive it was, could be viewed as some other attempt to inflict bodily injury,” Agostino says.

[IngridsLittleAngel]

5. Good

Because I don't know the law in a far-too-red state like Indiana, but, I know here in California, assault and battery on a minor is a felony, not a misdemeanor. What I saw in the video you posted sure looked like assault and battery to me.

He needs to go to the iron bar hotel, like the rest of the Proud Boys and Oaf Keepers he clearly loves.

[Auggie]

12. Criminal and civil, we hope. Incarcerate and sue.

[Trueblue Texan]

17. It depends on Indiana law...

...lots of states, including Texas are peachy keen, AOK with battering kids at school. Disgusting.

[dixiechiken1]

32. If I were that boy's parents, civil charges would be close behind...

For the teacher AND the school. Early retirement and pension, my ass.

[uponit7771]

71. "could be" more of the US justice system telling non whites they aint shit.

[edbermac]

6. Pics of stickers in one room.

[JHB]

14. And they accuse us of putting radical ideological zealots in classrooms.

[findeerror]

23. School district at fault

They knew he was acting inappropriately before he even came near the kid - this is wildly inappropriate for a school. He should have been disciplined the minute he put up a sticker. He should not be allowed to collect a pension and should be prosecuted for child abuse.

[GrapesOfWrath]

68. Wtf

Teacher of the Year in Indiana. If that doesn’t just say it all

[niyad]

76. The title appears to be misleading. The article seems to say that he was a "teacher

the year" at that school at some point.

[PA Democrat]

7. Even more disturbing than this teacher's behavior is

the support he is getting from other students and parents in the community. This guy has a history of using his classroom to push bigoted and hateful views and even went so far as to display posters and stickers in his classroom espousing his views.

He made hateful statements about poor people and in this town that makes him
Teacher of the Year" material.

In photos obtained by NIA, some of the posters and stickers found in the classroom said things like “Proud to be a conservative,” “Choose life, your mom did” and “Liberalism is a mental disorder.”


The mother said the comments made her child uncomfortable, and he confronted the teacher after Hosinski allegedly said “poor people don’t have jobs but spend money on alcohol and drugs.”

“My student, feeling the need to defend our family, said ‘I’m poor. My dad has a job and my parents don’t spend money on alcohol or drugs,’” the parent reported in the complaint.

https://www.southbendtribune.com/story/news/education/2019/09/17/complaints-prompt-removal-of-political-religious-materials-from-jimtown-high-school-classroom/117127876/

[teach1st]

8. But teaching about racial injustice

Is indoctrination.

[stopdiggin]

24. it seems extreme that he would

be getting almost unanimous support from the community (including students?). At least that's the way the OP reads. I don't know what that indicates - other than the fact that it's very disturbing.

[DanieRains]

36. Of Course Trumpscum Support Trumpscum

Sorry, I used the word.

[PatSeg]

44. Yes, I found that very disturbing

And he was named "Teacher of the Year"?

[haele]

87. I suspect this is a deep red area where most of the parents agree with him.

According to one of the articles, a parent described him as a "good, Christian man"who was "dedicated to teaching the children about the real world and how to deal with opposing views."
Sounds like a town Faux news drones and Q-berts with not much hope or interest in of a life outside their bubble.
I feel sorry for the kids.

Haele

[Aristus]

52. F*****g Indiana, man.

It's just Mississippi without the Spanish moss...

[childfreebychoice]

9. His warped, right wingnut world view makes him qualified

to be teacher of the year, in ind...still has backing of parents. Smh.

[Ilsa]

10. I hope the student ends up with the pension money and

Hosinski can be a greeter at WalMart, if they take permit felons to work in the front.

[infullview]

11. Allowed to retire and collect? What does that say about the people of Indiana?

[radical noodle]

46. Nothing could take his pension away from him

It's controlled by the union. Nor can a school "give" him his pension or early retirement to allow the collection of the pension. Besides, he's taught 40 years, so is most likely eligible for his pension already and this is not "early" retirement.

[infullview]

50. Even a teacher who is dismissed with cause?

So you're all for the people who came out to support this a-hole? I can't believe that the union doesn't have a morals clause and a way to eject this shithead without compensation.

[radical noodle]

53. Hey, I don't make the rules

I didn't say it was right or wrong, I'm just saying what is true. And yes, even if the teacher is dismissed with cause. That pension is union controlled and "morals" are so relative that a union would be crazy to include that in requirements. Someone would no doubt say a pro-choice teacher had a "morality" problem.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

64. The union can't take away his pension.

That's a good thing. It's his money he invested.

He's an asshole and shouldn't have been teaching for a while, obviously, but the pension is not something that should be on the table.

[ProfessorGAC]

75. Yes, Even Then

Teachers pay into that pension fund. It's a collective fund, but that money is HIS!
The district, government, or the union have no right to that money.
That's why a lawsuit is the viable option.
It's the same most situations I would think.
Take me as an example. I had a 401-A & a 401-K. My stock bonuses & profit sharing went into the first, my deductions from into the latter.
If a couple years before retirement, I came in drunk and poured hot coffee on the CEO, I'd be fired before the coffee cooled. (Hypothetically)
But, those savings were mine. Despite my idiotic act, the company would have no claim on my retirement money.

[The Jungle 1]

70. That depends on the state.

Can you lose a PSERS pension?
The law mandates that all service and benefits payable to a PSERS member be forfeited if the member is found guilty of, or enters a plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any crime identified in the Forfeiture Act, when the crime is committed through the member's position as a public employee or official or when the ...

This is Pa law. Public employees pension is controlled by the state in Pa. The fund has been horribly mismanaged by the republicans in the state legislature. It is 60 billion in debt. What is interesting is that the pensions for trade unions in Pa are run by the union and they are all solvent.

[radical noodle]

79. I was speaking specifically of Indiana

My husband was an ISTA member for decades.

[Joinfortmill]

13. Sue his ass and take his pension. Also

Don't move to Indiana.

[Scrivener7]

15. And then sue the shit out of the district and make them afraid to let this kind of

crap go on any more.

[The Jungle 1]

42. Teachers also have qualified immunity!

Let that sink in!

[radical noodle]

48. That doesn't mean teacher's can do anything they want

and get by with it.

https://www.nasro.org/news/2021/06/24/news-releases/qualified-immunity-in-public-education/

In Price as next friend of J.K. v. Mueller- Owens, the United States District Court ruled that a school staff member is not entitled to qualified immunity for the use of excessive force against a student.10 In denying the motion to dismiss a lawsuit brought by parents of the student who was forcibly removed from the classroom, the court held that “t is well established that a school administrator or teacher cannot use excessive force against a student.”11 The court noted that “although the undisputed facts show that defendant's initial decision to seize plaintiff and remove her from the classroom was reason- able,… [the student’s] allegations of punching, hitting and slamming her to the ground create a genuine issue of material fact.”12

In Meyers v. Cincinnati Bd. of Education, the United States Court of Appeals ruled that reckless conduct by an elementary school principal and assistant principal eliminated governmental immunity from claims by parents of a third-grade student who committed suicide after several violent incidents at school. 13 The court ruled that immunity under state law was not avail- able for schools that fail to report child abuse, fail to inform parents about prior threats, fail to discipline the student assailants, and fail to call 911 after a serious assault.

[The Jungle 1]

56. Correct it just makes it harder to achieve civil justice.

[TeamProg]

16. This needs to be front page news in every town.. n/t

[Emile]

18. Teacher should move to Russia, that's where Fascist live!

[The Jungle 1]

41. Correct

He is a fascist scum.

[Caliman73]

67. Oh they live here too!

We need to be less glib about the fact that a not insignificant portion of our population is turning more and more toward extreme right wing ideology. Fascism benefits from denial and attempts to cast is out of consciousness.

[XacerbatedDem]

19. And they complain about CRT being taught in schools!?!?

[Lonestarblue]

20. I know it's not allowed, but we need a screening of all teachers for religious extremism.

The religious right has caused so much damage in this country and continues to do so. No teacher should ever be able to hit a student like that and walk away with no consequences. Imagine the harm this teacher has done over his forty years by teaching propaganda and right-wing religion instead of whatever subject he was supposed to teach. We need politics like this out of schools.

[Delphinus]

21. Holy hell ...

this man should be in jail!

[oasis]

22. This out of control nut case should get jail time.

[Chainfire]

25. If I were the kid's father, he would be more worried about me than charges.

We had teachers like that in the 60s, but it was ok to abuse kids back then...

[OldBaldy1701E]

33. Yep. Very worried. (n/t)

[skydive forever]

26. As a child with 9 years of Catholic school in the 70's

I have mixed feelings about this one. Yeah, the teacher is wrong, but I got a lot worse than that and I survived. And guess what? I didn't turn out to be a little a**hole. Again, mixed feelings.

[Demovictory9]

28. its 2022

[Carlitos Brigante]

29. Are you sure about that? nt

[The Jungle 1]

39. I remember every teacher who ever hit me!

Is he an Ahole or is he a child screaming for some mental health help.
What I read in the comments on You Tube, from his classmates, the child has a long history. This was not a one off. Is the school helping him or are they ignoring him and passing him through the system. It is cheaper to ignore him.

[Bettie]

69. Smacking him in the head

isn't going to help him.

However, I doubt Indiana has any help available for him and his family. Heck, most states don't have any help for anyone anymore.

[niyad]

40. BS! Yes, the teachers were often abusive, but you turned out okay anyway, so that

makes it okay? Are you f'n kidding me?? Child abuse is child abuse, no matter HOW a person turns out. Child abuse teaches children that it is okay for bigger people, people ith power, to beat up on and abuse smaller, less powerful people. And you have "mixed feelings about this". REALLLLLY? Wow. . just. . wow.

I went to catholic schools as well, and if one of the teachers had ever laid a hand on me, that person would have been dealing with my father, who had nothing but contempt and loathing for people who abused children or women.

[SharonClark]

61. We'll said.

[Farmer-Rick]

51. Yeah, I had the sh*t beat out of me regularly

By teachers, parents and bullies and I turned out OK.

I grew up in the 70s and beatings and violence was just how you treated people weaker, smaller and smarter then you. Bruises, bloody ears, broken teeth, bloody lips, black eyes, broken bones and welts we're just a side affect of all that oh so wholesome corporal punishment. Yeah, so what if you only remember a childhood of pain....you turned out OK.

Don't you think you turned out OK despite the beatings not because of them?

Didn't it hurt when they beat you? Didn't it also hurt your ego, your sense of selfworth and bodily autonomy? Did it really make you behave better? Did it make you feel like you were important and worthwhile when they hurt you?

Since it obviously did hurt you, why would you want to inflict that hurt on others? Yeah, you survived the pain and suffering but what about the kid you are about to hurt? Are they going to have the same strength to keep it together as adults hurt them?

It was wrong that you were hurt as a child. They were wrong for hurting you. You turned out OK because you overcame the pain and suffering not because of it. Why put that pain and suffering on others now?

[NYC Liberal]

58. You turned out supporting assaulting children, though.

[Celerity]

62. this comment is very disturbing

[kcr]

77. Thinking it's okay to do this to children

is not exactly the opposite of a**hole.

[obamanut2012]

88. So, you are okay with assaulting minors

Because you were assaulted even worse than this kid and you are fine. Except you grew into an adult thinking it was okay for adults in positions of power to assault minors.

What other crimes against minors are okay? If your father raped you, is it okay to have another child's father rape them because, well, YOU TURNED OUT OKAY and survived.

It's okay to make minors work in dangerous conditions....

Your "logic" is literally this. Educate yourself.

[NoMoreRepugs]

27. This story is disturbing on so many levels.

[bullwinkle428]

30. Why are no criminal charges being brought up against this asshole??

My own parents would have absolutely turned this into a proverbial "federal case", had he done this to me as a student.

[Farmer-Rick]

55. Because in the 70s, the Supremes ruled that beating kids is A OK

"In 1977, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in its Ingraham v. Wright decision that school corporal punishment is constitutional, leaving states to decide whether to allow it.

Nineteen U.S. states currently allow public school personnel to use corporal punishment to discipline children from the time they start preschool until they graduate 12th grade;

these states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming (Center for Effective Discipline, 2015). A total of 163,3331 children were subject to corporal punishment in these states’ public schools during the 2011–2012 school year."

[Aviation Pro]

31. Funny

I'm a powerlifter and pretty good at it. It's funny that I never seem to be around when one of these psychopathic infants gets all 'chesty'. Maybe the key is that even though I'm pretty mild-mannered in most situations, I still have an intimidation factor around me. The sad fact of the matter is that these fucking assholes only go after the weak and defenseless.

Oh, if that was one of my children, there wouldn't be a hole deep enough for this motherfucker.

[The Jungle 1]

34. This child has a long history says youtube.

This is not a one off. So it is fair to say the child has issues. How about this school provide some help BEFORE it gets to this point. I am not making any excuses for the right wing nut. He is flat out wrong and should be arrested. He wants to end abortion and beat children. Remember he knew he was on camera.
Why won't this country accept the need to support mental health. There are sick people and we need to help them. That school is probably just passing that kid along to get him out of school. But at least the kid will be in the thoughts and prayers of the right wing nuts.

[PaulRevere08]

35. He's been teaching for 40 years so I assume he taught some/many of these parents

They have been brainwashed by their preachers, by their teachers, and now by RW propaganda outlets. They have been so indoctrinated that can't function outside their bubble.

[Traildogbob]

37. That would never happen

In Texas or Florida. It’s against the law to make a child feel uncomfortable. I am raging sick of this shit. Fuck that ass hole and his supporters. Where the fuck is Covid? You have one job, take away these assholes. I have no idea why the father has not already ended his retirement, for good.

[rainin]

38. He can spend every dollar of that pension fighting lawsuits. Bring 'em on! n/t

[twodogsbarking]

45. Never hit a child.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

65. Corporal punishment is still legal in schools in Indiana (and other states).

[uponit7771]

72. Does that overrule federal laws against child abuse? tia

[Cuthbert Allgood]

73. I would assume so, but I do not know.

If it didn't, I don't know why some states would have modified their corporal punishment laws to include parental permission first.

[obamanut2012]

90. Except this isn't considered corporal punishment

[UCmeNdc]

47. Someone tell the parents about a good lawyer and sue both the teacher and the school administration.

[Demovictory9]

57. Father yelled that he has attorney at board meeting

A gazillion of them will contact him.upon aeeing.video

[Baitball Blogger]

59. Maybe cameras in the classrooms are a good thing.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

66. No. They are not.

There was no camera needed for administration to see the sticks he had up in classroom and to address that.

[bluestarone]

60. His pension may be untouchable BUT

I'm sure he owns lots of things that ARE TOUCHABLE!! If it were my child i'd be going after EVERYTHING i could get.

[Happy Hoosier]

83. Exactly. Sue him into oblivion.

And it's not like Indiana teacher pensions are great. This is a red state. My wife has that pension plan and when she retires, it will not provide a livable income.

[Initech]

74. Fire his sorry ass and send him to prison now!

80. Indiana teacher who hit student is arrested and could face battery charge - MUGSHOT AT LINK

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/indiana-teacher-hit-student-arrested-231250430.html

South Bend Tribune
Thu, March 3, 2022, 4:35 PM·2 min read
ELKHART — The Jimtown High School teacher who was caught on video hitting a student has been arrested, and authorities are recommending a felony charge of battery.

Mike Hosinski, 61, was taken into custody late Thursday afternoon, the Elkhart County Sheriff's Office said in a release.

The release said a recommendation for a felony charge of battery has been sent to the county prosecutor's office.

[Bettie]

82. Good start, but remember

this is Indiana, so by the end of the week, they'll probably be throwing a parade in his honor.

I'm betting the kid's family is already getting death threats.

I miss when I believed that most people are actually decent.

[Delphinus]

84. Yes!

Strip him of his pension and throw the book at him. How many others did he harm? Looking at the pictures yesterday, I would guess he brainwashed most anyone who was ever in his class.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

85. It's been said a lot above, but they can't strip his pension.

Why is that so hard to realize?

[Delphinus]

86. I guess

I didn't read all the way through. Just saw the update. My bad.

[AngryOldDem]

89. Good. I was hoping he'd face consequences.

Apparently this kid is a pain in the ass — starts shit on the school bus, etc. But then the video came out and the rest of the kids turned quick.

This guy strikes me as a dark parody of Mr. Hand in “Fast Times At Ridgemont High” and Richard Vernon in “The Breakfast Club”.
