Exclusive Clip: The ‘Abbott Elementary’ Students Spout Conspiracy Theories
Some of the Abbott Elementary teachers are starting to worry about the kids. Are they on their phones too much? And what are all those weird clapping games they play? The Daily Beast’s Obsessed has your exclusive first look at the latest episode of the ABC sitcom, in which the kids are getting cult-y.
“It’s too peaceful in here,” Melissa (Lisa Ann Walter) whines to Barbara (Sheryl Lee Ralph), surrounded by silent kids in the cafeteria.
“That’s because these children spend all their time on their phones,” Barbara says. “They barely interact with each other,” she continues, giving Ava (Janelle James)—who is glued to her phone screen—a snide look. Ava, understanding that she has some unavoidable principal duties, snaps back into reality.
