A former NFL player-turned-high school health teacher and assistant football coach was arrested Friday for assaulting the same student twice — and promptly resigned, police said.
Sheddrick Wilson, 44, who played wide receiver at LSU and for the Houston Oilers, allegedly assaulted the 16-year-old at Archbishop Stepinac HS during two separate occasions, court records show.
Sometime in January or February 2017 while Wilson was teaching health class at the prestigious White Plains school, he ordered the victim, known only as “JM” in court papers, to the front of the classroom and asked him to remove his glasses, records show.
Wilson then slapped “JM” in the face with an open hand in front of “several other students” causing a “stinging sensation” to his face and embarrassment, court papers say.
A couple of months before that in December 2016, Wilson allegedly punched the student twice in the back of his head in the school’s locker room, also in front of several other students, records show.
The former baller sparred with the student, who’s now 18 and no longer attends the school, for using the “n-word,” Wilson’s lawyer Bruce Bendish told The Post.
“It will be established that the kid used the ‘n-word’ on numerous occasions and was admonished by a number of teachers that it was inappropriate,” Bendish said, but denied his client assaulted the student.

BOOM!!
This man doesn’t belong anywhere around students.
He has too little self control, and expects brute strength to be his primary teaching tool. You can’t just hit students in the head because they call you names. Develop a thick skin or get out of there.
He’s lucky he wasn’t pushing around a different kind of student, the kind who vows to get even somehow, someway. That’s how a teacher get’s their tires slashed or their throat slashed. Then everyone will say they ‘can’t believe this student acted that way’.
Not surprising that he has anger issues...
“It will be established that the kid used the ‘n-word’ on numerous occasions and was admonished by a number of teachers that it was inappropriate,”
Admonished? That’s it? Wonder why he got off so easy...
PFL
I would not last as a teacher in Archbishop Stepinit!
>denied his client assaulted the student.
It was battery.
You wouldn’t get away with that when I was 16, no matter how big you were.
Knowing how kids are today in the public schools I’m inclined to ask “what did the kid do to deserve it?”
what’s wrong with just suspending the little student with the big mouth?
When I wa sin school, a "hood" spit on a Math teacher's shoes as he walked between the desks - the teacher was about half the guy's size but put him against the wall hard and told him that he fought in Nam and had people trying to kill him every day and he'd be damned if a piece of trash like him would be able to spit on him....end result...the hood never did crap like that again while in school....what a cesspool of a world we live in when those who take a stance against what is happening to our society are the ones who are maligned.
Still wear my battle scars proudly :-)
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
Pain train coming!
Public schools maybe, but this is a Catholic school.

Apparently VERY few of the responders on this thread have enjoyed the ‘Nun Treatment’ of the 40s and 50s and earlier OR the small town atmosphere of the day that if a kid was acting up an ‘adult’ made sure he and the story got home to the CARING parents.
Police didn’t get called because a kid ‘farted’ in class and if a get ‘acted up’ it was dealt with (MOST of the time twice or a third time as if one ‘complained’, they got it again THEN ‘Sister’ was called THEN ‘Sister’ admonished you the following day about ‘carrying tales home from school’.
I seem to remember back in the Draft days the ‘volunteer’ services Marines & Navy in particular enjoyed getting the grads of Catholic School in their boot camps because we had already basically had the ‘wise guy snot’ removed.<: <: <:
Actually my belief that religious Brothers were MUCH tougher than Nuns dreamed of being was confirmed on day one as a freshman in St. Francis Prep in Brooklyn in Sept 1960.
I watched as a lay teacher punched one kid and throw an eraser the length of the room directly into the mouth of another kid. I looked around and took a mental score card of who was scared and who was not. Every one that was scared had nuns in grade school or went to public school. The 8 of us out of 30 that were taught by Brothers who smacks us and paddled us were the ones not scared because we’d seen it all before. Nuns “tougher than Brothers?” Not so much.
It’s been a few decades so remind me, Irish Christian Brothers?
Some kids need a swat, but it should be delivered out of sight, not in front of the class.
