NYC high school teacher launches unhinged anti-Trump tirade at student in leaked audio, then resigns
The unnamed teacher at Monsignor Farrell High School was recorded last Wednesday by a student while speaking vehemently against President Trump — criticizing the president's order to release billions of gallons of water in California to fight the Los Angeles wildfires and labeling him a dictator, according to a clip obtained by The Post.
The instructor was placed on leave after school leaders were made aware of his tirade and he later submitted his resignation, according to a statement from the private school obtained by 'Libs of TikTok.' Neither Monsignor Farrell High School or the Archdiocese of New York responded to The Post's request for comment by publication.
The educator's screaming rant against the president and the Republican party was apparently provoked by one student bringing up politics during the class.
'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 reference to speaking about politics.
'Jesus Christ,' the Catholic school teacher said, taking the Lord's name in vain. 'You guys will be able to vote next time around. If you vote Republican, you're bringing us all down.'
The educator then proceeded to spin himself up — breathlessly stating that Republicans 'didn't believe' in the values that they publicly advocate for, according to the audio clip first obtained and published by 'Libs of TikTok.'
As the teach became more and more enraged, he began to target one student with whom he apparently had a personal relationship.
'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,' the instructor aggressively yelled at a student at the private school.
'You wanna go for two,' the teacher asked threateningly, causing the student to respond defensively.
'Control yourself, man,' the student said sheepishly.
That request for comportment launched the adult teacher into a full-blown toddler-style meltdown — hurling personal insults and nasty comments at the student.
'Excuse me?! Excuse me?!' the teacher screamed at the top of his lungs and then went straight to cut the heartstrings.
'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 yelled directly at the student in the class.
'Are you serious? Treating me with that disrespect?! Are you serious?! Are you serious?!' the apoplectic educator said in an increasingly higher-pitched voice.
'If I could take back your letter of recommendation to college right now, I would,' he cruelly barked at the student off-camera.
'You talk to me like that? After everything that I've done for you?!' he added.
The berserk educator then called off the detention sentencing but threatened: 'Don't ever talk to me again personally' — adding that if the student ever spoke in class again without raising his hand, he would receive 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 screeched.
'After all I've stood up for you. You punk a–,' his rant concluded beyond the point of decency.
Monsignor Farrell High School put the out-of-control teacher on leave the following day, and the teacher subsequently resigned from the faculty, according to the statement from the school obtained by 'Libs of TikTok.'
'While we encourage open discussions and diverse perspectives, these conversations must always reflect mutual respect and our Catholic values,' school president Louis R. Tobacco said in the written release.
'Unfortunately, the recent classroom events did not reflect our mission. We reaffirm our commitment to the values that define Monsignor Farrell as a place of faith, learning, and community,' the statement read.

Van Hollen: ‘A big lie' that UN aid for Gaza has been ‘systematically' stolen by Hamas
Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Sunday there is no truth to claims that United Nations aid for Palestinians in Gaza has been 'systematically' stolen by Hamas. 'This is a big lie, the claim that when the U.N. organizations were delivering food to Palestinians, civilians, that it was being systematically diverted to Hamas,' Van Hollen told CBS News's Margaret Brennan on 'Face the Nation.' 'I want to say loudly and clearly, this is a big lie,' the Maryland senator added. On Sunday, Trump said Hamas is stealing food that was meant for people in Gaza, saying to reporters on multiple occasions that goods are being stolen as he was pressed on the hunger crisis in the region. Trump, alongside President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen in Turnberry, Scotland, was questioned about his response to the images of starving children in Gaza. 'When I see the children and when I see, especially over the last couple of weeks people are stealing the food, they're stealing the money, they're stealing the money for the food. They're stealing weapons, they're stealing everything,' the president said. 'It's a mess, that whole place is a mess. The Gaza Strip, you know it was given many years ago so they could have peace. That didn't work out too well,' Trump continued. House Speaker Mike Johnson echoed Trump on Sunday's 'Meet the Press' on NBC News. 'This is important to note: Israel, since this war began, has supplied over 94,000 truckloads full of food. It's enough food to feed 2 million people for two years trying to get that into Gaza. But Hamas has stolen the food, a huge amount,' Johnson said. He also criticized 'the system,' calling it 'broken,' adding that beginning tomorrow, the Israeli military will open 'new channels of distribution to get it [food] to those people who are desperately in need.' Former President Obama said on Sunday that 'aid must be permitted to reach people in Gaza.' 'There is no justification for keeping food and water away from civilian families,' the former president added in a post on the social platform X on Sunday.

'Relieved': Educators await Trump administration to release $6 billion in frozen funding
Advertisement The Trump administration announced the funding freeze on June 30, a day before the money was supposed to be sent to school districts in both New England and across the nation. It was another move toward the White House's goal to dismantle the Education Department, as President Trump argues that classrooms are teaching left-wing ideology. In Massachusetts, the freeze translated into $108 million withheld, leaving many districts scrambling to ensure they could still provide services during the summer months and the upcoming fall semester, with some cancelling summer programs entirely. In addition to training educators Advertisement Ray Hart, executive director of the Council of the Great City Schools, a nationwide association of urban districts that includes Boston, said in a statement they're 'relieved' about the administration releasing the funds 'for the benefit of schoolchildren throughout our nation.' In Rhode Island, education commissioner Angélica Infante-Green said, 'On behalf of Rhode Island's students, families, and teachers,' it is 'relieved to hear that the congressionally approved education funding is set to be released.' The Education Department 'will begin dispersing funds to states next week,' said Madi Biedermann, a spokesperson for the department, in a statement Friday. Biedermann said the Office of Management and Budget completed its review of the grants and directed the Education Department to release the funding. The move comes after the District of Columbia and 24 states, including Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Maine, 'It is impossible for states to effectively budget for an upcoming school year ... when the president takes the football away from us, like Lucy in a Charlie Brown cartoon,' said Peter Neronha, Rhode Island Attorney General, at a press conference announcing the lawsuit earlier this month. Related : A coalition of school districts and teachers' unions, including the Rhode Island Federation of Teachers and Health Professionals, Susan Collins, a Republican senator from Maine, and Ed Markey, a Democratic senator from Massachusetts, were among the politicians who criticized the freeze and demanded the administration release the money. Advertisement 'Every day that goes by without this education funding hurts our students, educators, and communities,' said Pedro Martinez, Commissioner of the Massachusetts Department for Elementary and Secondary Education, in a statement Thursday. 'We are still recovering from pandemic learning loss, and these federal funds are directly related to improving student academic achievement.' In early July, Governor Maura Healey said in a statement that districts would be forced to lay off staff, delay or cancel programs, and disrupt learning. 'Our schools were promised this funding, and the Trump Administration needs to deliver it,' Healey said. In a survey by the School Superintendents Association, about three-quarters said they would cut academic programs, and half said they would lay off teachers if funding was not restored. In a statement, the executive director of the association, David Schuler, said he was 'pleased' with the news of the funding being released. Some programs saw an immediate, negative impact following the freeze, including the The program, which has operated in Massachusetts since 1966, aims to address the toll on children's education caused by the frequent moves, as students transfer between different school districts or miss school altogether to work alongside their parents. In Springfield, 9-year-old Ery Perez Gutierrez last summer focused on sharpening his academic skills at Advertisement Ery is among hundreds of children in Massachusetts spending the summer at home because of the funding freeze. President Trump had proposed cutting the Migrant Education Program altogether in the next Last year, the grant served 438 students for summer programs statewide, said Emily Hoffman, director of the program in Massachusetts. The loss of the program at Boland Elementary is 'heartbreaking' and a 'huge step backwards,' as students are going without much-needed services, said Lisa Bakowski, the school's principal, who oversaw the program for the past three summers. Bakowski said the children enrolled in the program are among the most vulnerable in the community. Their parents work in the fields all day and often don't speak English. 'It sickens me that it's become a political issue when it really should never have been,' Bakowski said. 'It's about the betterment of humanity and being able to work to assist and provide for pockets of our community that need it.' Related : Other programs targeted in the freeze weren't immediately impacted. The largest grant frozen, known as Advertisement In previous years, Boston Public Schools used the funding to provide additional support for the district's recruitment efforts and educator preparation, including through an intensive 12-month program that prepares aspiring teachers to enter the classroom at no cost to them. Following the freeze announcement, BPS 'identified temporary one-time funding to maintain these efforts, which will continue in Fiscal Year 2026 despite the funding freeze with the hopes that the funding will eventually be available,' a spokesperson said in a statement Thursday. Massachusetts districts received $27 million in fiscal year 2025 for teacher training, with BPS receiving about Marcela Rodrigues can be reached at
