Authorities in Rockdale County, Georgia, are reviewing a now viral video after a student's attack on a teacher left the longtime educator hospitalized.

The video shows an altercation between a student and a teacher, who was identified as English Language Arts teacher Tiwana Turner in a GoFundMe, inside a classroom at Heritage High School on Jan. 26. An argument escalated into a physical attack when the student slammed the classroom door on Turner and then started punching her.

The attack continued into the hallway, where the teacher of 27 years was pulled to the ground and punched repeatedly, resulting in her being hospitalized. The GoFundMe account said she is unable to walk after suffering knee and leg injuries including a broken leg.

Turner's recovery will include "extensive rehabilitation and therapy," and she will not be able to work "any time soon," the account stated.

According to the GoFundMe, Turner was covering another class for a co-worker who was absent that day. When she attempted to "redirect the off-task behavior" of a student, she was physically assaulted by the student.

The student is a ninth grader and has been charged with aggravated battery, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

Verdaillia Turner, president of the Georgia Federation of Teachers, told Fox 5 Atlanta she was angered by the video and that incidents like that directly contribute to the nationwide teaching shortage.

"Students are out of control…there is no excuse for the violence…there is no excuse for children who are coming into our school daily and wreaking havoc so other students cannot learn," she told the outlet.

She added that the environment is the number one problem in the struggle to attract and retain teachers – discipline problems within the classroom.

"When we search the web and just Google ‘student assaults on teachers,’ we’ll see numerous assaults across the country and this is driving teachers out of the classroom," Verdaillia said.

While talking with Fox 5, Verdaillia said she thinks the student and the parents should be held accountable, describing what teachers have to deal with daily as a "state of emergency."

"Right now, we need zero tolerance," she added.

In a statement to Fox 5, Rockdale County Public Schools said:

"RCPS does not tolerate student violence towards any staff members. Students who harm other students or staff will be disciplined according to our Student Discipline Code of Conduct and will be appropriately charged by law enforcement."

It's unclear what disciplinary action(s) the student is facing from the school or school system. 

Fox News Digital has reached out to Rockdale County Public Schools for more information.

Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and a handful of other federal politicians - including two Democrats and one Republican - have shelled out thousands in campaign payments to a Chinese foreign agent, a Fox News Digital review of campaign finance records has found.

Reps. Kevin Mullin, D.-Calif., Grace Meng, D.-N.Y, and Nicole Malliotakis, R.-N.Y. joined Ocasio Cortez in pushing campaign cash to Sing Tao U.S., a subsidiary of the Hong Kong-based Sing Tao News Corporation Ltd, for advertising expenses during the midterm election cycle.

Those campaigns, in other words, had sent their money to a Chinese-owned entity that the Department of Justice forced to register as a Chinese foreign agent in August 2021 as tensions rose between Washington and Beijing.

After the DOJ determined that Sing Tao U.S. constituted foreign political activity, the campaigns had all disbursed their cash to the company. 

Ocasio-Cortez's campaign dropped nearly $1,500 on advertisements with Sing Tao Newspapers during the midterm election cycle after it had registered as a foreign agent, while Reps. Mullin, Meng, and Malliotakis paid between $1,000 and $7,000 to various Sing Tao entities as part of their campaign advertising expenses, Federal Election Commission filings show.

Sing Tao's United States operations include Chinese language publications in New York, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. It also has a radio station in Burlingame, California. 

The paper is considered pro-Beijing and receives more than half of its content from the Chinese company Star Production (Shenzhen) Limited, Axios previously noted.

While Sing Tao U.S. has maintained it's free from Chinese Communist Party influence, China's government maintains one of the "world's most restrictive media environments, relying on censorship to control information in the news, online, and on social media," the Council on Foreign Relations wrote.

The Chinese government has cut off media access to its citizens, monitored and squashed publications, and thrown dissident journalists in prison as part of its tight-knit media control operation. 

None of the campaigns returned a Fox News Digital request for comment
