Video: This Is What Happens When a Teacher Gets Caught in the Middle of a Fight in a Woke School
April 16, 2025
Fresno, CA – A disturbing video uploaded to Vidmax.com on April 15, 2025, captures the chaos at a Fresno high school when a teacher, identified as Alison Mattox by KMPH on October 16, 2024 [], attempted to break up a fight between students—only to be injured in the process. The footage, which conservatives on X are calling a direct result of “woke” Department of Education policies, shows Mattox being knocked down as she intervenes in a brawl involving two students and an adult relative who snuck onto campus, highlighting what many see as the dangerous consequences of progressive education reforms.
The incident, which occurred on October 2, 2024, at McLane High School, left Mattox with a concussion, according to the Fresno Teachers Association. The video shows her stepping between the combatants, only to be struck in the head and fall to the ground amidst a flurry of punches. An adult family member of a student had entered the campus to instigate the fight, per KMPH [], and the school’s administration was criticized for its lack of response to ongoing violence, with FTA President Manuel Bonilla noting “rampant incidents” during the 2024-25 school year.

Conservatives on X, like @MAGAForce2024, blame the Department of Education’s progressive policies under the Biden administration, which they say created environments like McLane’s by prioritizing “woke” ideology over discipline. “The DOE made schools like this—more focused on equity than safety,” wrote @PatriotPulse, pointing to a 2021 Critic Magazine article [] detailing how schools became “consumed by woke ideology,” leading to the elimination of exams and disciplinary measures deemed “racist” or “inequitable.” A 2025 NPR report on April 15 [] noted that general education teachers are increasingly managing chaotic classrooms with minimal support, a trend exacerbated by the DOE’s push for inclusive policies.
The Trump administration’s March 20, 2025, order to close the Department of Education to the “maximum extent allowed by law,” as reported by Wikipedia [], is seen by conservatives as a step toward reversing these trends. @America1stMAGA commented, “Teachers like Mattox are caught in the crossfire of woke schools—Trump’s shutting down the DOE to stop this madness!” The video has reignited debates over school safety, with conservatives arguing that progressive policies have left educators vulnerable, turning classrooms into battlegrounds where teachers like Mattox pay the price.
