A teacher was put on leave after a secretly recorded video accusing him of saying he wanted to 'slam' a girl's face 'against a wall' was posted on TikTok

• A teacher was placed on leave after a TikTok about him was posted, according to the school district.
• In the TikTok video, a man can be heard saying he wants to "slam" a girl's face against a wall.

A TikTok video of a man making violent comments about students has led to the suspension of a teacher from Cajon High School in San Bernardino, California, according to a statement provided to Insider by the school district.

On October 12, a user named @cajon_student posted a video with an on-screen caption saying, "A 53-year-old man saying this to a junior in high school."

It is unclear where the video was filmed, as it did not show any faces and the visual was partially obscured, but a male voice could be heard in the clip saying "She thinks she's funny. She's a rude, defiant little brat kid that I just want to slam her face up against a wall."

The user included a caption underneath the video that said the male voice belonged to a staff member called "Mr. Bean." According to the Cajon High School website, a person named Robert Bean is employed as an English teacher at the school.

"I'm a student at Cajon High School and wanted to bring light to what Mr bean says on a regular basis along with different things such as calling students and other teachers slurs," the caption read.

The video now has more than 96,000 views and 550 comments. Several comments appear to have been made by students at the school, who wrote stories saying that they had negative interactions with Bean while at school.

"Not only was it unprofessional, that shouldn't have been on campus at all," senior Mia Munoz told KTLA.

A former student told the outlet that Bean made fun of her for having an auto-immune disorder when she had been in his class.

"He embarrassed me, he humiliated me in front of my entire class, with my not only very private, but my very personal medical information," Megan Soult, who graduated from the school 12 years ago, said. "To see this come up this many years later and hear about how many people have brought this to the attention of the administrative staff at the school and nothing has still been done is just baffling."

In a statement provided to Insider, the San Bernardino City Unified School District confirmed that Bean had been placed on "paid administrative leave" on October 17, "pending an investigation of allegations posted to social media last week."

Robert Bean did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

School teachers have previously faced termination for controversial behavior after being filmed in their classrooms by students, who subsequently posted the videos online. In October 2021, Insider reported that a teacher from North High School in Riverside, California, was put on leave when a student filmed her mimicking Native Americans while wearing a paper headdress.

The Riverside Unified School District Administration called the individual's behavior "completely unacceptable" in a statement on its website, and in February, NBC Los Angeles reported that she had been fired.
