-
'Slap a teacher challenge' was completely made up by these people to slander TikTok
-

This is wild because my mom is a teacher and she was all up in arms about this challenge which came off as obviously fake when she told me about it.
Well now it comes out that it was just propaganda

The slap a teacher thing was being reported about everywhere. It's horrifying that the people who made that up are just going to get away with it
