THE HILL -- An online fundraiser for a California teacher who was recorded on video punching a student who yelled racial slurs at him has surpassed $140,000.
A GoFundMe page for Marston Riley, a music teacher at Maywood Academy High School in Los Angeles, had exceeded its initial $50,000 goal in just four days, topping $143,000 as of Wednesday afternoon.
Riley made headlines last week when he was captured on video striking a who repeatedly called him derogatory names and racial slurs.
