A substitute teacher in Mississippi was fired on her first day at work for recording students on her body camera and posting the videos on TikTok.

The incident happened at Lake Cormorant High School in Lake Cormorant, MS.

The woman arrived for her first day at work dressed like rapper Lil Durk.

One student asked, “Is that a teacher?”

The woman recorded students practicing for a pep rally in the school hallway.

“U shouldn’t be recording minors w/o parent consent,” one TikTok user wrote in the video comments.

TikTok users also scolded the woman for saying “Damn shorty” to a minor schoolgirl.

She followed that up by saying, “these kids gonna try to take me down.”

After she lost her job, the unemployed teacher recorded a new video in her car. She identified herself as the substitute teacher who lost her job for recording students at school.

“I’ve been receiving an awful amount of hate and I feel like it was necessary for me to clear my name up,” she explained.

“I am by far no predator or anything close to it,” she said.

She insisted she didn’t know it was against the rules to record students.

“It’s honestly so sad how sick the world is that you guys automatically mischaracterize me fully,” she said. “I truly just thought I was doing something good for the youth.”

The ex-teacher apologized for her “slang and terminology,” which is becoming more prevalent among teachers in high schools. Parents complain that it’s difficult to tell the teachers from the students nowadays.

The woman explained her “shorty” comment by insisting she meant the kids were shorter than her. “They are young. It absolutely means nothing with flirting.”

Parents praised the school district for its quick action. But they said the teacher should have been dismissed the moment she walked into the school’s administrative office dressed like a gang banger.
