A teacher at an all-boys Catholic high school on Staten Island resigned after going on an anti-Trump tirade during class that devolved into calling one of his students a “punk a–” during an unhinged outburst, according to a recently leaked video clip.
The unnamed teacher at Monsignor Farrell High School was recorded last Wednesday by a student while speaking vehemently against President Trump — criticizing the president’s order to release billions of gallons of water in California to fight the Los Angeles wildfires and labeling him a dictator, according to a clip obtained by The Post.
The instructor was placed on leave after school leaders were made aware of his tirade and he later submitted his resignation, according to a statement from the private school obtained by “Libs of TikTok.” Neither Monsignor Farrell High School or the Archdiocese of New York responded to The Post’s request for comment by publication.
The educator’s screaming rant against the president and the Republican party was apparently provoked by one student bringing up politics during the class.
“I’m sorry to the rest of you. It’s not my job. I’m not even supposed to do it, but I’m hoping to make some sense to somebody,” he said in reference to speaking about politics.
“Jesus Christ,” the Catholic school teacher said, taking the Lord’s name in vain. “You guys will be able to vote next time around. If you vote Republican, you’re bringing us all down.”
The educator then proceeded to spin himself up — breathlessly stating that Republicans “didn’t believe” in the values that they publicly advocate for, according to the audio clip first obtained and published by “Libs of TikTok.”
As the teach became more and more enraged, he began to target one student with whom he apparently had a personal relationship.
“I’m not kidding when I say, ‘Wipe that smile off your face.’ Detention, I just wrote you a referral mentally. You’re going to detention for bringing up politics in class,” the instructor aggressively yelled at a student at the private school.
“You wanna go for two,” the teacher asked threateningly, causing the student to respond defensively.
“Control yourself, man,” the student said sheepishly.
That request for comportment launched the adult teacher into a full-blown toddler-style meltdown — hurling personal insults and nasty comments at the student.
“Excuse me?! Excuse me?!” the teacher screamed at the top of his lungs and then went straight to cut the heartstrings.
“After all I put up with you for the last two years? And talked you up! And stood your back when they threatened you!” he yelled directly at the student in the class.
“Are you serious? Treating me with that disrespect?! Are you serious?! Are you serious?!” the apoplectic educator said in an increasingly higher-pitched voice.
“If I could take back your letter of recommendation to college right now, I would,” he cruelly barked at the student off-camera.
“You talk to me like that? After everything that I’ve done for you?!” he added.
The berserk educator then called off the detention sentencing but threatened: “Don’t ever talk to me again personally” — adding that if the student ever spoke in class again without raising his hand, he would receive a week’s worth of detention.
“You got your letter, so now everything’s good right? You got your high grade on the midterm so everything’s good? Now you can treat me like that?” he screeched.
“After all I’ve stood up for you. You punk a–,” his rant concluded beyond the point of decency.
Monsignor Farrell High School put the out-of-control teacher on leave the following day, and the teacher subsequently resigned from the faculty, according to the statement from the school obtained by “Libs of TikTok.”
“While we encourage open discussions and diverse perspectives, these conversations must always reflect mutual respect and our Catholic values,” school president Louis R. Tobacco said in the written release.
“Unfortunately, the recent classroom events did not reflect our mission. We reaffirm our commitment to the values that define Monsignor Farrell as a place of faith, learning, and community,” the statement read.
