Pop singer and songwriter Meghan Trainor recently came under fire for making derogatory comments about teachers on her podcast. In a conversation with Trisha Paytas, she expressed her frustration with the American education system and went on to say, “F*ck teachers, dude.”
Meghan Trainor Apologizes For Disrespecting Teachers
Trainor’s comments have been widely criticized for their insensitivity and disregard for the critical role that teachers play in society. Many educators have voiced their disappointment and frustration with Trainor, who has previously spoken out in support of teachers and their work.
In her apology, Trainor clarified that she did not mean to insult all teachers, but rather a specific group of individuals who had mistreated her and her husband in the past. She also acknowledged the importance of teachers and the challenges they face, especially in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The incident highlights the need for more awareness and appreciation of the work that teachers do. Educators across the country have been under immense pressure to adapt to new teaching methods, on top of the mental and emotional toll of the pandemic. Trainor’s comments were a reminder that even those who support education can fall short in their understanding.
Although Trainor made disrespectful comments, her apology and acknowledgment of their important work is a step in the right direction. This incident serves as a reminder that we must continue to support and appreciate the work of our educators, especially in these challenging times.

Although Trainor has apologized on the social media platform, many are still criticizing her actions. If you missed it, during her recent podcast episode she spoke about how she is homeschooling her children.
“We’re homeschooling our kids,” she said on the podcast. “F*ck that. Everyone on TikTok is like, ‘This is what it’s like to have a kid in America. I have a bulletproof backpack.’ I was like, ‘F*ck all of that.'”
Trainor’s podcast guest, Trisha Paytas brought up the fact that she was traumatized from school due teachers and other students. The Grammy Winner agreed, stating “F*ck teachers, dude.”
Now that Trainor has shared her apology, fans are very divided on where they stand on the topic. Although many agree that the American school system is messed up, they cannot forgive Trainor for pointing fingers at teachers. Instead, many wished that she would’ve pointed fingers at the system itself.
“We can all agree that the education system is broken and needs reform; however, us teachers, deserve respect as the absolute bare minimum,” TikTok user Mendez Sisters commented.
Some fans believe that Trainor’s apology should come with some type of repayment to those she offended. One even published a video of Trainor’s apology with a caption reading “POV: Me giving zero f*cks about Meghan Trainor’s apology until she starts fulfilling some teacher Amazon wishlists and Donor Choose projects.”
@kobyhavingfun Wwoooowww!! Unbelievable to just say f*ck teachers. Remember in the early days of COVID when teachers were national treasures? WTF? This occupation that so many of us love is just getting shitted on. Well, @meghantrainor if you’re really sorry, start paying for some Amazon wishlists and Donor Choose projects.
