Meghan Trainor has apologized for her “careless” comments about teachers and her intentions to homeschool her children as a result.“Teachers of TikTok and teachers of the world, I recently said ‘F teachers’ on the podcast and it’s not how I feel,” the pregnant “Mother” songstress, 29, said in a candid Sunday, April 23, TikTok video. “I was fired up because we were talking about how sending your kid to school here in America is so horrific.”Trainor — who shares son Riley, 2, with husband Daryl Sabara — and her brother Ryan Trainor had welcomed influencer Trisha Paytas to their joint “Workin’ On It” podcast to chat about parenthood.

Paytas, for her part, welcomed daughter Malibu with husband Moses Hacmon in September 2022.“We’re homeschooling our kids,” the “All About that Bass” singer quipped during the Wednesday, April 19, episode. “Everyone on TikTok is like, ‘This is what it’s like having kids in America.

I have a bulletproof backpack.’ I was like, f—k all that.”Meghan was referring to the epidemic of mass shootings, with one of the recent tragediesoccurring last month at Nashville’s The Covenant School, in which a 28-year-old woman opened fire in the primary school and killed three teachers and three students.

Authorities later shot and killed the perpetrator on the scene.Paytas, 34, agreed with the former Voice U.K. judge’s remarks, adding that she also worried about potential bullies and teachers. “F—k teachers, dude,” Meghan interrupted.The Grammy winner has since claimed that both she and the Spy Kids star, 30, had been bullied by their former educators and that hearing Paytas’ own story made her feel angry.In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies“I did not mean [to say that about] all teachers,”
