Roy Clayton, Wheeler High School teacher is under investigation for punching a 14-year-old in gym class

A teacher at Wheeler High School is being investigated for reportedly hitting a 14-year-old student in gym class.

The boy’s father is enraged about the event because the teacher is back in class three days after the confrontation, he claims.

M. Moore said, “Freaking unbelievable.” “He poses a threat to me.”

Dr. Peter Giles, the principal at Wheeler, confirmed to the father that the instructor had been absent for two days and is now back in class.

In a statement, a spokesperson for the Cobb County School District said, “We are aware of the situation and are currently investigating. Per district policy, we are unable to comment on personnel matters.”

The spokesperson would not say if the teacher was placed on administrative leave.

“My son said, ‘He turned to his side and popped him.’ We’re talking about a volleyball. Somebody hit a volleyball out of his hand,” said Moore.

Moore said the teacher lost his temper and swung at his son because he thought he was the student who knocked the ball out. Moore claimed the teacher’s aggressive behavior did not end there.

“This happened, my son said, within 10 minutes. He went from one student to the next,” Moore said.

Cobb County School District police arrested 19-year-old Dante Walker for allegedly punching the teacher. Moore said the Wheeler senior stood up for his son and other classmates.

“He punched him in the face and knocked him out. I think the teacher deserved everything he got,” said Moore. “He’s lucky I didn’t get to him first.”

Moore told Jose if the teacher isn’t charged with a crime, he will pursue legal action and file a warrant application at the courthouse.

While the teacher was not identified in other reports. However, given that Dante Walker was charged with assaulting a teacher on the same day. Roy Clayton was identified as the individual through court records.
