Students rally around teacher who was arrested for beating a pupil who hurled racial slurs at him

64-year-old Marston Riley was arrested on November 2 on the charges of child abuse after an incident with one of his students at the Maywood Academy High School in California. The high school music teacher was arrested after he was caught on camera pummeling a 14-year-old student in his band class. The fight escalated rapidly after Riley told the teen to leave his class because he was not wearing his band uniform.
