Didn't even phase her. To that disturbing video from a
classroom where a teacher became unhinged arrested
after cutting a student's hair while singing the national
anthem then went after another student. Kayna
Whitworth is here with the story. Reporter: Yeah,
George, good morning. That teacher now being held
on $ 100, 000 bail after this bizarre behavior, the
school saying they removed her from the classroom
immediately and now working with police. ??? What
so proudly we hail ??? Reporter: It's
the startling video that has landed a California high
school teacher behind bars. Watch as 52- year- old
teacher Margaret gieszinger is caught on camera
forcibly cutting one student's hair. Then throwing it
behind her all while bellowing the national anthem.
??? And bright stars ??? Reporter: When he realized
what happened, he stands up. I'm not done. Reporter:
Then she begins chasing students around the
classroom with scissors, even grabbing this girl's hair.
No. Reporter: But she managed to get away. Terrified
students running out of the classroom. One student
whose voice has been altered says she had declared
the day as haircut day. They thought she was joking at
first then quickly realized she was not. I hope I never
have to see her at that school again because I know for
a fact that I will never be able to see her as a
respectable authority figure in my lifeth gieszinger's
husband telling our affiliate he's surprised and
confused by his wife's actions. I'm trying to figure out
myself so I don't know what happened. It's not her. It's
not who she is. I don't know what was going on with
her. I don't have any clue as to why she did that.
Reporter: Now, this is a teacher who's had her
credentials suspended twice before. Now the district
attorney's office is reviewing the case. The school
is prepared to take the most severe action possible
and also deeply concerned about the students who
had to witness that. Hard to go back in her classroom.
