  The unnamed sub asked students at Deerfield Elementary School in Utah what they were thankful for, according to one of the boy's fathers, Dancing with the Stars dancer Louis van Amstel. When the boy said "finally being adopted by his two dads," the teacher began berating him and allegedly told the 11-year-old that "homosexuality is wrong" and “two men living together is a sin.” The boy didn't want to speak up and get the teacher in trouble, but three girls did, van Amstel said. The staffing agency the substitute teacher came through told BuzzFeed News it has since fired her. (📸: @louisvanamstel )

  Katie Cornetti says the video was a way of coping with the shock of what happened. "We saw [the window] shatter and we look at each other, and were like, 'Are you OK? Are you OK?' Once we figured out we were all OK, we started laughing," Cornetti said. The car rolled over on a winding road because a tire on Cornetti's friend’s car was not mounted properly, but all three girls in the car were unharmed. Cornetti said she made the TikTok while waiting for police and felt it was better than freaking out – and she's not letting the criticism get to her. Click our link in bio for more.
