A Texas high school is investigating an incident after a video shows a substitute teacher telling a student to “speak English. We're in America." Some students called the teacher racist for this.

A substitute teacher at a Texas high school was caught on camera telling a Spanish-speaking student to speak English.

In the video, the unidentified teacher can be heard saying, "Speak English. We're in America."

According to KVIA-TV, the teacher was speaking to Carlos Cobian, a junior at Socorro High School in El Paso.

Cobian told the news outlet that he walked into class watching a soccer match on his cell phone. He said the teacher asked him to hand over the device. Cobian then responded, "¿Por qué?" which means "Why?" in English.

That's when the teacher reportedly made the comment that caught Cobian off guard.

"I was shocked and then I got a little mad," he said. "I thought it was a little racist because you know we live on the border ... For her to come to teach at Socorro, being a sub, like 90% of the students here are Mexicans and Latinos."
