FOX4's Calvert Collins spoke with him after his rant, which was recorded by a fellow classmate. His passionate speech has gone viral. It's gotten tens of thousands of hits and comments after it was posted online. On Thursday, the district announced it would not punish Jeff Bliss for his actions. He said he was upset by what he says is his teacher's lack of passion for her profession The teacher has been put on paid leave while the district investigates the incident. The district said that is standard procedure during investigations, but wouldn't say how long the leave will last. Bliss said he was standing up for his education but admits he could have handled it differently. He hit a boiling point over a test in his World History class Tuesday morning. "My question was, why we don't get the same amount of time to take the test as the rest of her classes," said Bliss. He says his teacher replied with profanity telling him to stop his questioning and leave. That's when he erupted. Bliss says in the rant, "If you would just get up and teach them instead of handing them a freaking packet, there's kids in here who don't learn like that." Even though the video is viral, he said he doesn't want all the attention. "I don't want people to look up to me as something to idolize or anything, I'm just as human as the next person," said Bliss. He said he's received support from teachers and administrators. Bliss said his mom was proud of him but said his attitude could have been better. He said he backs up his outburst with his past because he dropped out of high school after his freshman year. He later returned and said he takes his schoolwork seriously. He asks that his teachers do the same. Duncanville ISD released a statement reading, "We want our students and teachers to be engaged, but the method by which the student expressed his concern could have been handled in a more appropriate way."
