An eighth grade teacher in Clayton County who was arrested last month for allegedly letting out a string of curses in front of his class went before a judge Thursday.

Allen Andrews, 48, faces charges of disrupting the operation of a public school and disorderly conduct for allegedly directing a rant filled with profanity at two of his 13-year-old students in class, Channel 2 Action News reported.

According to Channel 2, the Pointe South Middle School science teacher is accused of telling his class, “I don’t need this (expletive) every day. (Expletive) it. Want to talk (expletive) to me every day. Think y’all (expletive) hard and tough. (Expletive) ain’t never seen blood, ain’t see death. (Expletive). I’m real.”

“After making said statements the accused walked out of class and another teacher had to come in and restore order,” Judge Beatriz Scott said in court Thursday, according to Channel 2.

The school superintendent will decide whether or not Andrews, who is being held in jail on a $6,500 bond, will keep his job.
