High school teacher suspended after profane tirade during online class: N.J. superintendent
Updated 9:41 PM;
A Jersey City High School teacher has been suspended after going on two profanity-laced rants aimed at students in his class, the superintendent said.
Howard Zlotkin, a science teacher at Dickinson High School, turned a Zoom class discussion on climate change into a vulgar verbal attack toward his students, according to a video clip that aired on NBC New York Friday.
In the recording of the Zoom class taken by one of the students, Zlotkin appears highly agitated and is heard making remarks about Black Lives Matter, George Floyd, white privilege and a student. Zlotkin is white, while Dickinson boasts a diverse student body population.
