NJ Teacher Suspended and Under Investigation for Cursing at Black Students While Calling George Floy
NJ Teacher Suspended and Under Investigation for Cursing at Black Students While Calling George Floyd a 'Criminal'
In what turned out to be a Zoom class unlike any other, students at Dickinson High School said their teacher gave them a profane rant — and a lesson in hate. A discussion on climate change devolved as teacher Howard Zlotkin aired his grievances with the students.
“If you think I’m privileged then f—- you, because my daughter thinks I’m privileged and I don’t speak to her,” he was seen saying in a recording of the online class session. At one point he started yelling and cursing at one student.
Timmia Williams, a 17-year-old senior, said the landscape and design teacher seemed to focus on Black students, sharing his thoughts on the killing of George Floyd.
“I hear people whining and crying about Black Lives Matter, but George Floyd was a f——-g criminal and he got arrested and he got killed because he wouldn’t comply and the bottom line is we make him a f——-g hero,” Zlotkin is heard saying in a recording.
