U.S. instructor arrested after cutting student's hair during anthem
VISALIA, CALIF. — Yet another teacher got into trouble recently, this time when she commanded a student to sit down so she could cut his hair — while singing the national anthem.
Science teacher Margaret Gieszinger was caught on video chopping the locks, and when the student got up to leave, she called out “Next!” and motioned for another student to sit down.
The teacher then approached a female student and attempted to cut her hair, but the students ended up running out of the classroom.
Gieszinger was later arrested on suspicion of felony child endangerment, according to the Visalia Times-Delta.
One of her students later said the incident was out of character for the teacher: “She is a loving and kind lady. She is usually all smiles and laughs. This is not the Miss G. we know and love.”
The school said mental-health counsellors would be available for any troubled students.
