SUBSCRIBE : A teacher has been suspended after shocking video shows him running his hand down a pupil's back in the classroom.

Travis Holland, who teaches history at Eagleville High School in Tennessee, US, is sat down and clasps the standing girl at her waist after appearing to rub her left shoulder in the clip filmed on Monday.

The video looks to have been filmed surreptitiously over someone's shoulder as the incident takes place. An American flag can be seen to the teacher's left.
