Teacher suspended for dressing as devil and saying ‘Hail Satan’ to students.
Arizona Math Teacher Put on Administrative Leave After Controversial Classroom Stunt
An Arizona math teacher has been placed on administrative leave after a shocking incident at Mesa High School. The teacher, dressed as Satan complete with horns and a pitchfork, greeted students with a chilling “hail Satan” as they entered the classroom.
The incident, which occurred during Halloween spirit week, has sparked outrage among students and parents alike. Sophomore Nathaniel Hamlet, who was particularly disturbed by the teacher’s actions due to his faith, reported the incident to his father, leading to the teacher’s suspension.
While some students found the stunt amusing, others were deeply offended. Hamlet expressed his frustration, stating, “I said, ‘Don’t do that to me,’ and I pushed [the pitchfork] away maybe three or four times, and he still said it and still did it.”

The teacher, identified as Jesse Ruiz, has defended his actions as a way to engage with his students and bring fun to the classroom. However, many believe that such behavior is inappropriate and crosses the line.
Chris Hamlet, Nathaniel’s father, who is also a Christian, expressed his outrage, stating, “If you’re gonna keep the Christian stuff out, then you got to keep the devil-worshiping stuff out, period.”
The school district has launched an investigation into the incident, and the teacher has been placed on paid administrative leave. The outcome of the investigation is pending.
As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen whether the teacher will face further consequences for his actions.
