<v Speaker 2>am not here to fat shame anyone this morning. I

0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.120
<v Speaker 2>wouldn't even be bringing this man's weight into this donkey

0:00:52.120 --> 0:00:55.000
<v Speaker 2>if it was impertinent to the story. In fact, in

0:00:55.040 --> 0:00:57.920
<v Speaker 2>an effort not to fat shame Jason Rodgers, I will

0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:01.480
<v Speaker 2>say nice things like I believe Jason Rodgers has a

0:01:01.520 --> 0:01:02.040
<v Speaker 2>six pack.

0:01:02.240 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>It's just hidden underneath a protective layer of fat.

0:01:06.160 --> 0:01:08.360
<v Speaker 2>Okay, the same women, the same way women have like

0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:09.720
<v Speaker 2>protective handstyles like.

0:01:09.840 --> 0:01:13.280
<v Speaker 1>Corn rolls and wigs, right jests, and twist.

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>Sometimes people get fat on purpose to protect the incredible.

0:01:16.920 --> 0:01:18.640
<v Speaker 1>Physique they have underneath all that.

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:20.959
<v Speaker 2>Okay, fat people can unlock that hidden character in that

0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.399
<v Speaker 2>video game anytime they want to. Okay, I am not

0:01:23.520 --> 0:01:25.960
<v Speaker 2>here to fat shame anyone this morning. Fat people are

0:01:26.000 --> 0:01:30.680
<v Speaker 2>in shape. Round Round is a shape anyway. Jason Rodgers

0:01:30.760 --> 0:01:33.200
<v Speaker 2>was charged with malicious punishment of a child after he

0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:38.959
<v Speaker 2>allegedly stepped on three students' backs during a lockdown drill.

0:01:39.200 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>Let's go to KBTXCBS three for the report.

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:41.600
<v Speaker 2>Police.

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.240
<v Speaker 4>An Underwood, Minnesota teacher is facing charges after deputies were

0:01:45.240 --> 0:01:48.520
<v Speaker 4>called to an area hospital for a report of an assault.

0:01:48.960 --> 0:01:52.280
<v Speaker 4>Jason Rodgers is charged with one count of malicious punishment

0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.080
<v Speaker 4>of a child and his on administrative leaf from the

0:01:55.120 --> 0:01:58.640
<v Speaker 4>school district. Deputies were called to Lake Region Hospital for

0:01:58.720 --> 0:02:02.400
<v Speaker 4>a reported assault at Underwood School. A sixth grader says

0:02:02.400 --> 0:02:05.400
<v Speaker 4>that he was laying on his stomach during a lockdown

0:02:05.520 --> 0:02:09.240
<v Speaker 4>drill when Rogers stepped on his back with both feet.

0:02:09.720 --> 0:02:12.680
<v Speaker 4>The records indicate that Rogers weighs more than three hundred

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:15.720
<v Speaker 4>and fifty pounds, and Rogers admitted to stepping on three

0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:19.200
<v Speaker 4>students who weren't cooperating during the drill. He scheduled to

0:02:19.240 --> 0:02:21.200
<v Speaker 4>be in courts on April eighth.

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.239
<v Speaker 2>What I feel like I tell y'all this once a week,

0:02:24.480 --> 0:02:27.000
<v Speaker 2>but please don't become a teacher if you truly don't

0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:27.840
<v Speaker 2>care about kids.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:30.160
<v Speaker 1>Jason, you know you three hundred and fifty pounds.

0:02:30.320 --> 0:02:32.000
<v Speaker 2>What the hell you doing stepping on those kids for

0:02:32.160 --> 0:02:34.760
<v Speaker 2>you told police that you were frustrated they weren't taking

0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:37.760
<v Speaker 2>the lockdown drill seriously. Well, there was other ways to

0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:40.440
<v Speaker 2>show them why they should take this seriously. What if

0:02:40.440 --> 0:02:43.359
<v Speaker 2>those kids were frustrated you weren't taking your health seriously.

0:02:43.840 --> 0:02:46.320
<v Speaker 2>What if they told you that you should be teaching history,

0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:49.320
<v Speaker 2>because just like history, you are heavy and full of layers.

0:02:49.639 --> 0:02:52.880
<v Speaker 2>Not to mention, during a lockdown drill, they didn't need

0:02:52.880 --> 0:02:54.799
<v Speaker 2>you to lock the door because your big ass was

0:02:54.800 --> 0:02:55.839
<v Speaker 2>already blocking the entrance.

0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:58.440
<v Speaker 1>Okay, don't even need a damn barricade. All we need you.

0:02:58.400 --> 0:03:00.400
<v Speaker 2>To do is stand in front of the door that

0:03:00.480 --> 0:03:02.560
<v Speaker 2>human wall were built in snack storage.

0:03:02.639 --> 0:03:02.919
<v Speaker 1>Okay.

0:03:02.960 --> 0:03:04.920
<v Speaker 2>I am not fat shaming, by the way, I'm just

0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 2>making observations, all right. Jason stepped on these students because

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:10.799
<v Speaker 2>he was frustrated with them. Well, what if they bought

0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.080
<v Speaker 2>a scale for you to step on every day because

0:03:13.120 --> 0:03:16.639
<v Speaker 2>they frustrated with your big bodied self. Not to mention,

0:03:16.919 --> 0:03:19.440
<v Speaker 2>a lot of the kids were complaining that mister Rodgers

0:03:19.480 --> 0:03:22.240
<v Speaker 2>assigned homework like he ordered fast food in bulk and

0:03:22.280 --> 0:03:27.799
<v Speaker 2>with no shame. Mister Rogers, Fat mister Rogers, Fat mister

0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:30.840
<v Speaker 2>Rogers is crazy. Okay, fat mister Rogers sat down to

0:03:30.880 --> 0:03:34.000
<v Speaker 2>tie his shoes and it was considered a two part episode. Okay,

0:03:34.040 --> 0:03:36.120
<v Speaker 2>fat mister Rodgers trolley didn't go to the land and

0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:37.440
<v Speaker 2>make believe and went to the land of all you

0:03:37.480 --> 0:03:40.480
<v Speaker 2>can eat. There is not a cardigan in America that

0:03:40.520 --> 0:03:43.840
<v Speaker 2>could fit fat mister Rogers. Okay, fat mister Rogers wouldn't

0:03:43.880 --> 0:03:45.960
<v Speaker 2>wear a cardigan. He would wear a weighted blanket with

0:03:46.000 --> 0:03:50.200
<v Speaker 2>button with buttons. Okay, fat mister Rogers. Cardigans weren't hand knit.

0:03:50.320 --> 0:03:52.920
<v Speaker 2>They were engineered by SpaceX and they had the ability

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:55.120
<v Speaker 2>to whistand body heat and snack crumbs.

0:03:55.120 --> 0:03:57.120
<v Speaker 1>But I am not fat shaming. I am just.

0:03:57.160 --> 0:04:00.880
<v Speaker 2>Making observations about a situation. See what's sad is kids

0:04:01.160 --> 0:04:04.920
<v Speaker 2>trust in adults. Okay, you are a teacher. These kids

0:04:05.040 --> 0:04:07.440
<v Speaker 2>parents dropped them off every day to be in your care.

0:04:07.640 --> 0:04:09.760
<v Speaker 2>So when I hit one of the children say I

0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:13.040
<v Speaker 2>did not know why mister Rogers did this, because mister

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.040
<v Speaker 2>Rogers didn't say anything about it, didn't even try to

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.560
<v Speaker 2>correct them. He's just sitting there all fat and frustrated, Okay,

0:04:19.600 --> 0:04:22.000
<v Speaker 2>portly and perturbed, dumpy and disturbed.

0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:24.400
<v Speaker 1>Didn't even tell the kids what the issue was.

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.160
<v Speaker 2>And then if the kid described it, just stepped on

0:04:27.279 --> 0:04:31.400
<v Speaker 2>him like he was a stepping stool. I bet money

0:04:31.520 --> 0:04:34.760
<v Speaker 2>Jason Rodgers thinks more of the stepping stool than he

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:37.920
<v Speaker 2>does those kids, because I don't think Jason Rodgers would

0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:39.920
<v Speaker 2>risk putting that three hundred and fifty pounds a weight

0:04:40.000 --> 0:04:42.440
<v Speaker 2>on a stepping stool. Okay, he's three hundred and fifty pounds.

0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.800
<v Speaker 2>This man is terrified of the word steps. Ask his

0:04:44.880 --> 0:04:48.279
<v Speaker 2>fitbit all right. When the class heard the child yell out,

0:04:48.440 --> 0:04:53.040
<v Speaker 2>they thought that mister Rogers had broke the child's back. Man,

0:04:53.160 --> 0:04:56.040
<v Speaker 2>it's not funny, man, This is what the report says.

0:04:56.040 --> 0:04:56.880
<v Speaker 1>It's funny.

0:04:57.520 --> 0:05:00.960
<v Speaker 2>Jesus, won't you be my neighbor, my ass especially not

0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 2>on a plane.

0:05:01.760 --> 0:05:02.520
<v Speaker 1>This is sad.

0:05:02.680 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I can't trust you to properly teach my kids. Jason Rodgers,

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:08.720
<v Speaker 2>lunchtime can't be you and the student's most favorite time

0:05:08.760 --> 0:05:10.560
<v Speaker 2>of the day pop tarch pop quizzes.

0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:14.559
<v Speaker 1>What do you enjoy more? Mister Rogers? Listen. The moral

0:05:14.560 --> 0:05:17.440
<v Speaker 1>of the story is a quote from John C. Maxwell.

0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 2>Students don't care how much you know until they know

0:05:21.839 --> 0:05:25.560
<v Speaker 2>how much you care. I repeat, students don't care how

0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.960
<v Speaker 2>much you know until they know how much you care.

0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.800
<v Speaker 2>When students feel cared for, they are more likely to

0:05:31.839 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 2>be engaged in the learning process and motivated to succeed.

0:05:35.720 --> 0:05:38.640
<v Speaker 2>It's that simple. And one thing's for sure. Two things

0:05:38.640 --> 0:05:42.320
<v Speaker 2>for certain. I know Jason wasn't no gym teacher. Please

0:05:42.320 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 2>give Jason Rodgers the sweet times of the Hamiltons.

0:05:44.880 --> 0:05:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, you are the dog gee.

0:05:49.279 --> 0:05:58.600
<v Speaker 4>Of the day, dog gee all the day. Yee.

0:06:02.480 --> 0:06:03.600
<v Speaker 1>How old are these kids?

0:06:04.120 --> 0:06:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I think it's just sixth grade? Sixth grade? Yeah, so

0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:09.680
<v Speaker 2>that's the whole classroom. Really, if you think about it,

0:06:09.680 --> 0:06:11.719
<v Speaker 2>at least take you at least let me see. I

0:06:11.720 --> 0:06:14.680
<v Speaker 2>would say at least five kids to be three fifty

0:06:14.839 --> 0:06:17.960
<v Speaker 2>in sixth grade. Kids were one hundred pounds this grade,

0:06:18.520 --> 0:06:21.200
<v Speaker 2>maybe right, maybe the eighty ninety, close to one hundred.

0:06:21.279 --> 0:06:23.720
<v Speaker 1>So what you'd be like twelve thirteen years. I don't know.

0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:26.440
<v Speaker 1>He might be a math teacher. I was strong those

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:29.480
<v Speaker 1>additions back to uphold that three. They weren't the man

0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:30.600
<v Speaker 1>they said the kill.

0:06:30.760 --> 0:06:34.000
<v Speaker 2>The kid yelled out in pain and traumatized the whole class.

0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.839
<v Speaker 1>The class thought the kid's back was broke.

0:06:36.560 --> 0:06:39.000
<v Speaker 3>Are you talking about I couldn't hold a three hundred

0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:41.800
<v Speaker 3>fifty pounds person stepping on my back. Could you imagine Mac,

0:06:42.160 --> 0:06:43.479
<v Speaker 3>one of our producers, standing on your back?

0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 2>You do realize that's what the whole Donkey to Day

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:51.160
<v Speaker 2>was about. I'm just saying, but that's literally what the

0:06:51.200 --> 0:06:52.839
<v Speaker 2>hold I think my back would really do. Bro The

0:06:52.880 --> 0:06:55.080
<v Speaker 2>fact that he shouldn't have been three hundred fifty. You

0:06:55.080 --> 0:06:57.640
<v Speaker 2>shouldn't be standing on no kids back. I thought Mac

0:06:57.760 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 2>was walking in. I got a little nervous. All right,

0:06:59.680 --> 0:07:01.159
