Rasheda Rose, a North Las Vegas-area substitute teacher, was arrested on Nov. 1 after students and faculty at the Legacy Traditional School – North Valley alleged that she forced sixth-grade students to kiss one another in front of the class while their peers watched. Witnesses also claim that Rose made inappropriate comments and forced various students to participate in a game of “Never Have I Ever” in which she asked sexually explicit questions, 8 News Now reports.
Rose faces two counts of child abuse and neglect.
The disturbing incidents allegedly took place at the school on Oct. 10 when Rose, through an external agency, was responsible for substituting six classes, each consisting of about 30 students. Police were told the 29-year-old woman requested that the emergency blinds on the classroom door be shut before instructing two students to come to the front of the class and kiss one another. The students told police that they were uncomfortable and did not want to participate, the outlet reports.
“I want it to be where everyone can see,” Rose could be heard saying in a video captured by another student. “Imma [sic] count to five, once at five, I want yaw to share a lil peck.”
The woman allegedly asked students to identify who was “dating” by raising their hands and then gave them kissing as homework to be done before Oct. 12, saying “she would be back to make sure it was completed.”
