In the video, the teacher delivers his rant during a lesson, using intense language and posing controversial questions. Some of the questions were, “Can you end up in a concentration camp in your lifetime? Yes!” and “Can you end up with no human rights? Yes!” According to the New York Post, the teacher compared Trump to Hitler and claimed that Americans could face severe consequences for their voting choices. The teacher expressed frustration towards Black and Brown voters who did not support Vice President Kamala Harris, suggesting they failed to grasp the significance of having a leader of color in such a high office.
He also criticized Latino men who voted for Trump, accusing them of trying to be “white” and overlooking Trump’s controversial remarks about Latinos. Towards the end of his rant, he called Trump “treasonous scum” and argued that Kamala Harris’s rejection by some voters was due to misogyny and racism. The Moreno Valley Unified School District has stated that the teacher involved has been placed on leave and that they do not condone his behavior.
