We discuss the foul odors emanating from the hallways of West Florence High School, where a 32-year-old teacher’s assistant, Alexander Paul Robertson Lewis, was caught on video spraying fart spray into a hallway and a classroom, which eventually permeated the school’s ventilation system. Students were reportedly overcome by the odors, struggling to breathe, or absent to avoid exacerbating underlying health conditions.

CW | TW: This episode discusses child endangerment by fart spray. Profanity included. Listener discretion is advised.
