Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of Floyd\u2019s murder last week.<\/p>\n<p>NBC New York <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnewyork.com\/news\/local\/nj-teacher-gives-profanity-laced-rant-during-zoom-lesson-calls-george-floyd-a-criminal\/3029146\/\">reported<\/a> that Zlotkin\u2019s classroom discussion originally focused on climate change, but somehow devolved into the vulgar rant. Zlotkin taught landscape and design at Dickinson High School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you think I\u2019m privileged then f\u2014 you, because my daughter thinks I\u2019m privileged and I don\u2019t speak to her,\u201d he said in a recording of the incident.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hear people whining and crying about Black Lives Matter, but George Floyd was a f\u2014\u2013g criminal and he got arrested and he got killed because he wouldn\u2019t comply and the bottom line is we make him a f\u2014\u2013g hero,\u201d Zlotkin says in the recording.<\/p>\n<p>One student claimed the rant was aimed particularly at black students, during which Zlotkin told four black female students to write an essay for him. That student and her mother contacted the board of education but heard nothing from them until after NBC New York was informed of the situation. Zlotkin returned to the classroom a few days later and again cursed at students, targeting the complaining student for not completing the essay.<\/p>\n<p>The student\u2019s mother told the outlet her 17-year-old daughter cried over the incident and asked: \u201cMom why is it there\u2019s a problem with my skin?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>On the same day Zlotkin returned to teaching, the school district released a statement saying he had been removed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe school was in the process of taking statements from students today before proceeding with disciplinary actions, and then the second video surfaced. The teacher will not have access to students or the school as we proceed. We are appalled by the statements, profanity, disrespect and treatment of students,\u201d the district said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>NBC News reported Friday that Zlotkin told the outlet \u201che could not comment until he speaks with a union attorney.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zlotkin is the latest teacher fired for political comments. In late March, a Catholic high school teacher was terminated for saying George Floyd\u2019s cause of death was disputed, The Daily Wire\u2019s Chrissy Clark <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/catholic-high-school-teacher-terminated-for-debating-cause-of-george-floyds-death\">reported<\/a>. The teacher, Deborah DelPrince of Bishop Ready High School, can be heard on video \u201ccondemning Lebron James for wearing a shirt saying \u2018I Can\u2019t Breathe,\u2019 the final words reportedly uttered by George Floyd before he fell unconscious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s just not true,\u201d DelPrince said of James\u2019 shirt. \u201cIt perpetuates a myth against police. I\u2019m not sure Lebron James is in the position to be disrespectful to police officers, primarily because he probably doesn\u2019t go anywhere without a bodyguard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When a student asked if DelPrince was suggesting Floyd\u2019s cause of death was disputed, DelPrince responded \u201cYes, it is disputed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A teacher in Michigan <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/michigan-teacher-fired-after-tweeting-trump-is-our-president\">was fired<\/a> in the summer of 2020 after tweeting \u201cDonald Trump is our president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Neither DelPrince nor the Michigan teacher went on expletive-laden rants against their students.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
