Another day, another teacher having a serious meltdown and/or starting his very own "Fight Club:" a high school music teacher in Mount Vernon is accused of assaulting a student in his classroom. Kelly Oram, 51, allegedly got angry with a boy while teaching, threw him to the floor, dragged him out of the classroom by the back of the neck, then shoved him against a wall causing the boy’s head to hit an alarm box. He concluded by reportedly throwing a backpack at the student and slamming the door in his face. Most impressively, he did all this while wearing the eternally young golden curls of Valhalla-obsessed aging rock legend Robert Plant, who we can only assume he scalped the day before.
