Students respond by threatening him after he pranks them

A seemingly innocent video hides elements of children's attitudes that we would all be more comfortable ignoring.

YouTube user kurtec01 posted this viral clip, presumably shot by himself with a dashcam. He tells children that they will not be going to school that day, explaining that he is heading in that direction because they need to check in.

He motivates the day off by mentioning plumbing issues with the building. The news is met with screaming and shouting the likes of which could probably only be heard at a Justin Bieber concert.

He then asks them what day it is, and he reveals that his announcement was just an April Fools’ prank.

However, if you turn the volume up, you can hear them answering back by using expressions such as “I hate you,” or “You're dead.”

“I will cut you with a knife,” one student says.
