- 0:57Speaker 2: say nice things like I believe Jason Rodgers has a
- 1:01Speaker 2: six pack.
- 1:02Speaker 1: It's just hidden underneath a protective layer of fat.
- 1:06Speaker 2: Okay, the same women, the same way women have like
- 1:08Speaker 2: protective handstyles like.
- 1:09Speaker 1: Corn rolls and wigs, right jests, and twist.
- 1:13Speaker 2: Sometimes people get fat on purpose to protect the incredible.
- 1:16Speaker 1: Physique they have underneath all that.
- 1:18Speaker 2: Okay, fat people can unlock that hidden character in that
- 1:21Speaker 2: video game anytime they want to. Okay, I am not
- 1:23Speaker 2: here to fat shame anyone this morning. Fat people are
- 1:26Speaker 2: in shape. Round Round is a shape anyway. Jason Rodgers
- 1:30Speaker 2: was charged with malicious punishment of a child after he
- 1:33Speaker 2: allegedly stepped on three students' backs during a lockdown drill.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Let's go to KBTXCBS three for the report.
- 1:41Speaker 2: Police.
- 1:41Speaker 4: An Underwood, Minnesota teacher is facing charges after deputies were
- 1:45Speaker 4: called to an area hospital for a report of an assault.
- 1:48Speaker 4: Jason Rodgers is charged with one count of malicious punishment
- 1:52Speaker 4: of a child and his on administrative leaf from the
- 1:55Speaker 4: school district. Deputies were called to Lake Region Hospital for
- 1:58Speaker 4: a reported assault at Underwood School. A sixth grader says
- 2:02Speaker 4: that he was laying on his stomach during a lockdown
- 2:05Speaker 4: drill when Rogers stepped on his back with both feet.
- 2:09Speaker 4: The records indicate that Rogers weighs more than three hundred
- 2:12Speaker 4: and fifty pounds, and Rogers admitted to stepping on three
- 2:15Speaker 4: students who weren't cooperating during the drill. He scheduled to
- 2:19Speaker 4: be in courts on April eighth.
- 2:21Speaker 2: What I feel like I tell y'all this once a week,
- 2:24Speaker 2: but please don't become a teacher if you truly don't
- 2:27Speaker 2: care about kids.
- 2:27Speaker 1: Jason, you know you three hundred and fifty pounds.
- 2:30Speaker 2: What the hell you doing stepping on those kids for
- 2:32Speaker 2: you told police that you were frustrated they weren't taking
- 2:34Speaker 2: the lockdown drill seriously. Well, there was other ways to
- 2:37Speaker 2: show them why they should take this seriously. What if
- 2:40Speaker 2: those kids were frustrated you weren't taking your health seriously.
- 2:43Speaker 2: What if they told you that you should be teaching history,
- 2:46Speaker 2: because just like history, you are heavy and full of layers.
- 2:49Speaker 2: Not to mention, during a lockdown drill, they didn't need
- 2:52Speaker 2: you to lock the door because your big ass was
- 2:54Speaker 2: already blocking the entrance.
- 2:55Speaker 1: Okay, don't even need a damn barricade. All we need you.
- 2:58Speaker 2: To do is stand in front of the door that
- 3:00Speaker 2: human wall were built in snack storage.
- 3:02Speaker 1: Okay.
- 3:02Speaker 2: I am not fat shaming, by the way, I'm just
- 3:04Speaker 2: making observations, all right. Jason stepped on these students because
- 3:08Speaker 2: he was frustrated with them. Well, what if they bought
- 3:10Speaker 2: a scale for you to step on every day because
- 3:13Speaker 2: they frustrated with your big bodied self. Not to mention,
- 3:16Speaker 2: a lot of the kids were complaining that mister Rodgers
- 3:19Speaker 2: assigned homework like he ordered fast food in bulk and
- 3:22Speaker 2: with no shame. Mister Rogers, Fat mister Rogers, Fat mister
- 3:27Speaker 2: Rogers is crazy. Okay, fat mister Rogers sat down to
- 3:30Speaker 2: tie his shoes and it was considered a two part episode. Okay,
- 3:34Speaker 2: fat mister Rodgers trolley didn't go to the land and
- 3:36Speaker 2: make believe and went to the land of all you
- 3:37Speaker 2: can eat. There is not a cardigan in America that
- 3:40Speaker 2: could fit fat mister Rogers. Okay, fat mister Rogers wouldn't
- 3:43Speaker 2: wear a cardigan. He would wear a weighted blanket with
- 3:46Speaker 2: button with buttons. Okay, fat mister Rogers. Cardigans weren't hand knit.
- 3:50Speaker 2: They were engineered by SpaceX and they had the ability
- 3:53Speaker 2: to whistand body heat and snack crumbs.
- 3:55Speaker 1: But I am not fat shaming. I am just.
- 3:57Speaker 2: Making observations about a situation. See what's sad is kids
- 4:01Speaker 2: trust in adults. Okay, you are a teacher. These kids
- 4:05Speaker 2: parents dropped them off every day to be in your care.
- 4:07Speaker 2: So when I hit one of the children say I
- 4:09Speaker 2: did not know why mister Rogers did this, because mister
- 4:13Speaker 2: Rogers didn't say anything about it, didn't even try to
- 4:16Speaker 2: correct them. He's just sitting there all fat and frustrated, Okay,
- 4:19Speaker 2: portly and perturbed, dumpy and disturbed.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Didn't even tell the kids what the issue was.
- 4:24Speaker 2: And then if the kid described it, just stepped on
- 4:27Speaker 2: him like he was a stepping stool. I bet money
- 4:31Speaker 2: Jason Rodgers thinks more of the stepping stool than he
- 4:34Speaker 2: does those kids, because I don't think Jason Rodgers would
- 4:38Speaker 2: risk putting that three hundred and fifty pounds a weight
- 4:40Speaker 2: on a stepping stool. Okay, he's three hundred and fifty pounds.
- 4:42Speaker 2: This man is terrified of the word steps. Ask his
- 4:44Speaker 2: fitbit all right. When the class heard the child yell out,
- 4:48Speaker 2: they thought that mister Rogers had broke the child's back. Man,
- 4:53Speaker 2: it's not funny, man, This is what the report says.
- 4:56Speaker 1: It's funny.
- 4:57Speaker 2: Jesus, won't you be my neighbor, my ass especially not
- 5:01Speaker 2: on a plane.
- 5:01Speaker 1: This is sad.
- 5:02Speaker 2: I can't trust you to properly teach my kids. Jason Rodgers,
- 5:05Speaker 2: lunchtime can't be you and the student's most favorite time
- 5:08Speaker 2: of the day pop tarch pop quizzes.
- 5:10Speaker 1: What do you enjoy more? Mister Rogers? Listen. The moral
- 5:14Speaker 1: of the story is a quote from John C. Maxwell.
- 5:18Speaker 2: Students don't care how much you know until they know
- 5:21Speaker 2: how much you care. I repeat, students don't care how
- 5:25Speaker 2: much you know until they know how much you care.
- 5:29Speaker 2: When students feel cared for, they are more likely to
- 5:31Speaker 2: be engaged in the learning process and motivated to succeed.
- 5:35Speaker 2: It's that simple. And one thing's for sure. Two things
- 5:38Speaker 2: for certain. I know Jason wasn't no gym teacher. Please
- 5:42Speaker 2: give Jason Rodgers the sweet times of the Hamiltons.
- 5:44Speaker 1: Oh no, you are the dog gee.
- 5:49Speaker 4: Of the day, dog gee all the day. Yee.
- 6:02Speaker 1: How old are these kids?
- 6:04Speaker 2: I think it's just sixth grade? Sixth grade? Yeah, so
- 6:07Speaker 2: that's the whole classroom. Really, if you think about it,
- 6:09Speaker 2: at least take you at least let me see. I
- 6:11Speaker 2: would say at least five kids to be three fifty
- 6:14Speaker 2: in sixth grade. Kids were one hundred pounds this grade,
- 6:18Speaker 2: maybe right, maybe the eighty ninety, close to one hundred.
- 6:21Speaker 1: So what you'd be like twelve thirteen years. I don't know.
- 6:24Speaker 1: He might be a math teacher. I was strong those
- 6:26Speaker 1: additions back to uphold that three. They weren't the man
- 6:29Speaker 1: they said the kill.
- 6:30Speaker 2: The kid yelled out in pain and traumatized the whole class.
- 6:34Speaker 1: The class thought the kid's back was broke.
- 6:36Speaker 3: Are you talking about I couldn't hold a three hundred
- 6:39Speaker 3: fifty pounds person stepping on my back. Could you imagine Mac,
- 6:42Speaker 3: one of our producers, standing on your back?
- 6:47Speaker 2: You do realize that's what the whole Donkey to Day
- 6:49Speaker 2: was about. I'm just saying, but that's literally what the
- 6:51Speaker 2: hold I think my back would really do. Bro The
- 6:52Speaker 2: fact that he shouldn't have been three hundred fifty. You
- 6:55Speaker 2: shouldn't be standing on no kids back. I thought Mac
- 6:57Speaker 2: was walking in. I got a little nervous. All right,
- 6:59Speaker 2: what they thank you for that donkey today, sir, And
- 7:01Speaker 2: just thank you for holding the camera, you know, I
- 7:05Speaker 2: like it, just trying out other jobs just in case
