It seems a concerning trend is developing among educators in the US as yet another teacher has now been busted on video footage going on an unhinged, profanity-lace, racism-fueled rant against their students.
Local news outlet 11 Alive now reports that one Fulton County, Georgia substitute teacher has been fired from his position after leaked video footage showed him going off on an “an “expletive-laced, racist rant” against former President Barack Obama in a classroom full of students.
The teacher in question was not named, but from the video footage, he appears to be Middle Eastern in origin. In the video, he goes off on an unhinged rant blaming the 44th president for drone strikes, fuming, “f**king Obama… bombed the sh*t out of my country.”
Atlanta NAACP’s first vice president Gerald Griggs spoke with the local news outlet and said, “It’s very disturbing the kind of language that was being used in a classroom. School is not the place to have that kind of vitriol conversation with young people. That’s why we’re concerned, and the definite racist overtones that were coming out were very, very concerning.”

Various unnamed predator drone programs were utilized by the military and CIA as a tool to neutralize terror targets across the Middle East largely under the administrations of George W. Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump. Programs such as these have long been a point of contention and controversy because of the danger they posed to nearby citizens in strike zones. However, multiple sources have long disagreed over whether drone programs are more or less likely than conventional weaponry methods at reducing civilian collateral damage. The use of drones and drone programs for military strikes by the federal government, US military, and Central Intelligence Agency has drastically reduced under President Joe Biden’s administration.
This is not the first time that a Georgia teacher has come under fire for a similar race-fueled incident, as a Gainesville elementary school teacher was terminated from her position back in 2016 after she made a Facebook post calling former First Lady Michelle Obama a “gorilla” who needs to “focus on getting a total make-over.”
