A substitute teacher was behind bars on Friday after a video that went viral on social media showed him and a high school student fighting in a Las Vegas school hallway a day earlier.
According to one report, the fight between the adult and the teen broke out after a racial slur was used against the teacher.
A shocking video shared by KTNV-TV that was also posted on social media showed the two changing punches for several moments at Valley High School in east Las Vegas.

Eventually, the fight went to the ground where the much larger adult had an advantage and punched the student in the head.
The teacher appeared to taunt the teen and also slapped him numerous times.
KLAS-TV reported police identified the teacher as 27-year-old Re’Kwon Smith.
Should this teacher be fired?

Smith had been a substitute teacher with the district since last November but as of Friday, he had been banned from ever working in a Las Vegas school again.
The now-former substitute was arrested, as was the student – who was not identified.
Valley High School principal Kimberly Perry-Carter said in an email statement to parents that she was “aware” of the fight but did not offer any further comments.
Smith was charged with battery resulting in serious bodily harm, assault on a school pupil on school property, threatening to do bodily harm to a public school student and interfering with a student from attending school.
He was scheduled to go before a judge Friday mooring and was being held on a $9,000 bond.
The Clark County School District Police Department said in a statement to KLAS that there is a zero-tolerance policy regarding violence at schools in the city.
“Violence in any form is unacceptable and goes against the fundamental principles of education and respect,” the department said.
Police added, “Any altercation between a teacher and a student is thoroughly investigated, and appropriate disciplinary action is taken.”
One student who spoke to KTNV said he is friends with the student who sparred with Smith Thursday.
The teen claimed his friend was hospitalized with a concussion and also suffered scratch marks.
A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:
I heard a chilling comment the other day: “We don’t even know if an election will be held in 2024.”
That wasn’t said by a conspiracy theorist or a doomsday prophet. No, former U.S. national security advisor Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn said that to the founder of The Western Journal, Floyd Brown.
Gen. Flynn’s warning means that the 2024 election is the most important election for every single living American. If we lose this one to the wealthy elites who hate us, hate God, and hate what America stands for, we can only assume that 248 years of American history and the values we hold dear to our hearts may soon vanish.
The end game is here, and as Benjamin Franklin said, “We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately.”
All of this means that without you, it’s over. We have the platform, the journalists, and the experience to fight back hard, but Big Tech is strangling us through advertising blacklists, shadow bans, and algorithms. Did you know that we’ve been blacklisted by 90% of advertisers? Without direct support from you, our readers, we can’t continue the fight.
Can we count on your support? It may not seem like much, but a Western Journal Membership can make all the difference in the world because when you support us directly, you cut Big Tech out of the picture. They lose control.
A monthly Western Journal Membership costs less than one coffee and breakfast sandwich each month, and it gets you access to ALL of our content — news, commentary, and premium articles. You’ll experience a radically reduced number of ads, and most importantly you will be vitally supporting the fight for America’s soul in 2024.
We are literally counting on you because without our members, The Western Journal would cease to exist. Will you join us in the fight?
Sincerely,
Josh Manning
Deputy Managing Editor
