A California history teacher has been placed on leave after he launched an expletive-laden tirade against Donald Trump in front of his students the day after the election. The unnamed Valley View High School teacher called Trump a “rapist draft-dodging coward” and compared him to Adolf Hitler. The man ranted that Black and Latino voters snubbed Kamala Harris because she has “a vagina and a uterus” and continued: “This sh-- is not a f------ game. Can you end up with no human rights? Yes. Will it happen to you? Most likely not. Which is a good thing, but has Donald Trump quoted Hitler? Yes. Does he embody some of Hitler’s ideas? Yes.” A spokesperson for the Moreno Valley Unified School District said the teacher had been placed on administrative leave pending a review of the incident. However, a Change.org petition has more than 1,200 signatures in favor of reinstating the teacher, and students at the school say they are planning a walkout if he isn’t allowed to return to class.
