Meghan Trainor issued out an apology after a clip of her speaking on teachers during an episode of her podcast, ‘Workin On It’ surfaced the internet.
During the episode Trainor was speaking on school shootings and said,“Everyone on TikTok is like, ‘This is what it’s like having kids in America. I have a bulletproof backpack.’ I was like, ‘F*** all that … f*** teachers, dude,’” Trainor said in the April 19 episode clip.

Trainor made a Tiktok video to address her comments and said she was just riled up while speaking on the topic. “Teachers of TikTok and teachers of the world, I recently said ‘F teachers’ on the podcast and it’s not how I feel,” she said. “I was fired up because we were talking about how sending your kid to school here in America is so horrific. I am sorry for being careless with my words. I love teachers, and I am here for you. Let’s work to make schools a better place together,” Trainor continued. “They are the most unappreciated when they literally raise all of us. I don’t want to make excuses, I just want to [say] I am so so sorry.”

Even though she issued an apology fans are still slamming the singer for her comments, one Twitter user shared the video and said, “Hearing @Meghan_Trainor talk dismissively about public schools is so disappointing. So many students have to go to public school because they don’t have the money or accessibility for private school or homeschooling. Teachers are superheroes doing the best for their kids.”

@Meghan_Trainor @trishapaytas Before bashing teachers and public schools, think about why resources are so limited and why parents have kids bring bullet-proof backpacks to school. You both have influence and platforms that can help bring about actual change. Use it instead of

Another user jumped in saying, “Many students go to public school because their families don’t want them raised in an isolated bubble of sameness. I loved public school and I love my kids’ public schools. I want my kids to have experiences with everyone from the community.”
