Clark County School District officials have confirmed an incident at Legacy High School earlier this month that involved a parent walking into a classroom and verbally confronting a teacher.

The teacher involved said a women came into his class as he was teaching and began leveling vulgarities and gay slurs while turning over a desk before security was able to remove her, a recent KVVU report said.

The news station reported that the incident lasted for approximately 15 minutes, and 37 students were in attendance while the parent came in and disrupted the class.

“I felt really embarrassed that that happened, because I felt like I didn’t keep my kids safe, and that’s what bothers me,” Dr. Dwane Martinson, a longtime teacher at Legacy High School, told KVVU. “I’m heartbroken about that. Because what happens — and God help us if that ever happens — what happens if that lady has a gun? How am I going to protect my kids?”

Martinson added that the incident happened during eighth period, and it left him and students “shell-shocked.”

“She wrote on my whiteboard all these horrible words, like, took control of my room,” Martinson said. “Literally kept us at bay for 15 minutes, hostage. Like, telling the kids to call the school board and get me fired, and to report me for being a bully and a coward and a pedophile and all this crazy stuff. All this craziness.”

The woman in question was given a ticket for trespassing, and police officials are examining whether to also pursue a child endangerment charge, Martinson said.
