“This is not right!” – Eagles star Darius Slay has his say on Texas high school teacher getting decked

Earlier on Saturday, Darius Slay took to Twitter to call out a Texas high school student who punched his teacher in the face over a quarrel.

In a frightening encounter captured on video, a Lamar High School student was seen arguing with a male teacher. The professor apparently took the 15-year-old's phone for some reason, but footage showed the student then landing a flush right hook on the teacher's jaw.

Shocked onlookers screamed as the student went on to throw a few more punches before the video abruptly ended. The video has been doing the rounds on social media and when Slay got a hold of it, he couldn't help but express his concern over the clip.

The Philadelphia Eagles cornerback quote tweeted the horrific video and wrote: "This is not right!".

Many of Slay's followers also agreed with him in the comments. Some showed sympathy for the elderly professor in the video.

The teacher wasn't identified by name and hasn't publicly commented on the incident. However, the shocking increase in student violence against teachers in schools has been grabbing headlines over the past few years.

It's safe to say that Slay is certainly against it.
