Texas middle schoolers shared needle in tattoo sessions — in front of oblivious teachers

[NYPOST] Texas middle schoolers passed around a shared needle and participated in mass tattooing sessions in classrooms while their oblivious teachers carried on with their lessons, leaving parents outraged — and worried this week.

The youngsters reportedly used temporary ink to carve one another's bodies with the shared needle Tuesday, officials said, igniting concerns that they may have also injected themselves with disease.

Ashley Armstrong's son Jordan was one of the students who participated in the classroom tattooing sessions at Travis Intermediate in Greenville, Texas. FOX4

Armstrong's 11-year-old son, Jordan, used the dirty needle to scrape ''I heart my lord'' across his entire forearm and ''JC'' on his hands on Tuesday while he was inside his classroom at Travis Intermediate in Greenville, roughly 50 miles northeast of Dallas.

Jordan claimed one boy approached him and offered to tattoo him. That needle was then ''shared several times from one class to another class to another class,'' Armstrong told the outlet.

#4 I have some relations who are teachers. I do some metnoring in an intermediate school. What teachers and admin are allowed to do, or say, is...limited. Knew of one school where, if kindergartner Freddie got loose in the halls again, the school locked down.
Kid goes nuts in the cafeteria, maybe second grade. Among other things, dumps a janitor's bucket on the floor. So, Aubrey inquires, what if somebody leaned on the bucket so it couldn't be moved? "Iii...don't know...." says an administrator.
Maybe the teacher didn't want to get into Big Trouble.
