“Man, there’s been a few creators on here saying that like Friday or yesterday could have been the day and then I wake up to that news but not that news,” Baum said in the video. “We’re gonna have to pay really close attention to what they’re trying to actually distract us from.”

Netizens blasted Baum in the comment section. “She should have a restraining order to not be within 1,000 feet of a school,” one user wrote, while another said, “Another demonic person who shouldn’t be influencing our future generations!” “Mentally ill teachers should not be any where near our children let alone teaching them in a classroom. Parents- if this is your child’s teacher, pull them out immediately. This could be a matter of life or death. WE MUST PROTECT OUR CHILDREN,” wrote a user.

“Every parent needs to contact this school! Immediately!” one user said. “Who is hiring all of these lunatics to be the teachers of our children?” said a user, while another wrote, “Definitely fire her!! A sick in the head person teaching young children is never a safe bet. How could you ever trust her?”
