However, after that teacher left she allegedly proceeded to organise students by race and gender, insult them using racial slurs and derogatory statements, and use explicit language — as well as playing loud rap music and bragging about being OK with going to jail.

A 16-year-old boy in the class told authorities that she also called one student ‘fat boy’ and told two white pupils that ‘they were the type to start school shootings’, Independent reports.

I know a lot of people are going to sound off about how they had it worse when they were a kid, but mental and verbal abuse is still abuse. It was never okay, not back then, and not now. This lady doesn't even have the excuse of being old and worn out like many of the professionals in that field. She's 23, doesn't actually work in that field, just decided to show up and being abusive.

Not an excuse, but it's likely due to bipolar disorder.

If bipolar disorder is involved, it's still a combination of various factors.

Bipolar disorder alone doesn't cause something like this, I'd know because I have it and I can't imagine ever doing something like this, even in my wildest manic episodes, even though I have a pretty serious case of it.

The other factors could be anything. Some examples: trauma, co-morbid mental conditions or just being a shitty person in general. Those are just some examples, like I said, it could be anything and it's likely the other stuff is things we probably couldn't even think of.
