In January 2026, a group of teachers at Crandall High School became the subject of online discussion following the circulation of videos on TikTok that "slandered" the teachers. The account posting these videos, going by the name of "crandall.kirkinator," amassed hundreds of thousands of followers and millions of likes. On January 30th, the account holder would delete their Instagram page, as well as deleting all of their videos on TikTok, due to the inadvertent harassment of the teachers featured.
