NYC Catholic School Teacher Resigns After Heated Anti-Trump Rant at Student

[Social Media]

 

A teacher at Monsignor Farrell High School, an all-boys Catholic institution on Staten Island, resigned after launching into an explosive anti-Trump tirade during class, which culminated in him insulting a student in a now-leaked audio recording.  

 

The incident, which took place last Wednesday, was secretly recorded by a student and later shared with the media. In the clip, the teacher passionately criticized former President Donald Trump, particularly his decision to release billions of gallons of water in California to combat wildfires.

 

He also labeled Trump a dictator and harshly condemned the Republican Party. The school administration was made aware of the outburst, placed the teacher on leave, and later accepted his resignation. Monsignor Farrell High School and the Archdiocese of New York declined to comment on the matter.  

 

The outburst was reportedly triggered when a student brought up politics in class. Acknowledging that discussing politics was outside his role as an educator, the teacher nevertheless proceeded with his rant. “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 an apparent moment of frustration, he also exclaimed, “Jesus Christ,” taking the Lord’s name in vain—a particularly controversial remark at a Catholic school.  

 

 

As he continued, his anger intensified. “You guys will be able to vote next time around. If you vote Republican, you’re bringing us all down,” he told the students, passionately arguing that the Republican Party did not adhere to the values it claimed to uphold.  

 

His frustration then shifted toward one particular student, with whom he seemed to have a prior relationship. His anger boiled over when the student responded to his rant with a smile. “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,” he yelled.  

 

The student attempted to de-escalate the situation, urging the teacher to control himself. However, this only further fueled the teacher’s fury. “Excuse me?! Excuse me?!” he screamed.  

 

“You wanna go for two?” he threatened, as his frustration spiraled into personal attacks. “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 shouted.  

 

The heated exchange reached an unsettling climax when the teacher made a particularly cruel remark. “If I could take back your letter of recommendation to college right now, I would,” he snapped. “You talk to me like that? After everything that I’ve done for you?!”

 

At the height of his outburst, the teacher withdrew the detention but issued a final warning: “Don’t ever talk to me again personally.” He further threatened that if the student ever spoke out in class again without raising his hand, he would be given 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 ranted before concluding with an expletive, calling the student a “punk a–.”  

 

Following the incident, Monsignor Farrell High School took immediate action, placing the teacher on leave the next day. He later submitted his resignation, according to a statement obtained by “Libs of TikTok.”
