A public school clerk in Connecticut has resigned after a video surfaced of her spitting at an African-American man and repeatedly referring to him using a racial slur, officials said.

"Someone who will use that sort of language in any setting, whether public or private, is not someone we want anywhere near our children," the school district said in a statement.Get breaking news alerts and special reports. The news and stories that matter, delivered weekday mornings.A public school clerk in Connecticut has resigned after a video surfaced of her spitting at an African-American man and repeatedly referring to him using a racial slur on Friday night, officials said.

Because her children were present, the district said it filed a Department of Children and Families report."The language the employee used in the video is in conflict with the values of the Hamden Public School System," the district said."Someone who will use that sort of language in any setting, whether public or private, is not someone we want anywhere near our children."

East Haven Police Lt. Joseph Murgo told NBC News on Sunday that the agency is looking to speak to the recipient of the"racist rant."

So this is what Connecticut has....spitting racist? Anyone check the YEARBOOKS? !!! I HAVE A FEELING....

Says the fake lying socialist news

ZolaClyde1 I hope she was horrified seeing herself on video, I hope her children looked shocked. What I find ironic is how people behave in their hatred often engaging in behaviors they accuse their targets of, ie. 'savage, ignorant, uneducated, no social graces, Godless,' you name it.

I see why other races don't like us. Smh

She should not be employed where there are people or animals...

This is very weird, strange

Democrat?

She sounds crazy and racist. Horrible combo.

Good, we don't need people like that anywhere near our children.

Why did it take a video for this result?

Catslawrence So long, trash. STAY AWAY FROM OUR CHILDREN!

windmillcharger Trump will appoint her to the Dept of Education.

Well, there's always the trump administration...I hear they are looking for a few ignorant racists to be all they can be.

It was a sickening video. She used a N word. Is that how she speaks to students too?

That was awful I imagine she resigned before she could get fired no one would employ somebody who behave like that

Is Connecticut a GOP state cause then it makes sense

“Connecticut”? God forgive me, this country is going to hell😪

Good

Good! Out on the street

Maybe this sort of thing shouldn't be posted on Twitter lest the pres--ugh! ok, i say this only for the sake of this tweet 'president of the united states' (throwing up in my mouth a little) catch wind of it and come to her defense, calling for her reinstatement

Did she resign or was she fired? From what was shown on the video, she should not have been given a choice. By allowing her to resign, aren't you rewarding her abhorrent behavior?

Trump supporter.

Good.

Good. Next.

Here is the deal people: trump and fox may be telling you all day long this sort of behavior is magically acceptable now. IT IS NOT. It never will be, ever. Be kind to one another for god sake. Enough.

Good! That's appropriate. She doesn't belong anywhere near impressionable children with that ugly attitude!

She needs to be charged with harrassment or maybe simple assault...who knows what diseases this nasty, vile woman has in her saliva.

What a burden to harbor such hate.

DONALD TRUMP IS PEOPLE THAT PERSON ENABLER,THEY LOOK TO HIM FOR RACIST LEADERSHIP TRUMP HIMSELF HAS DECLARED HE'S A WHITE NATIONALIST HE SAID ON TV HE DID NOT HIDE IT

Just despicable, good she had resigned

Good riddance to this RACIST, HUMAN GARBAGE woman! So GLAD she lost her job! The family that she verbally attacked should SUE HER! (I’m not usually litigious, but in a HORRIBLE case like this, I think that the family should sue!) This is what Trump/Republicans have created !!! 😠

Of course MSNBC doesn't report the fact the black person started the incident and was going after a mom with 2 small kids

Shameful behavior. It's good to know she's no longer working in a school.

Must be a Trump relative.

All in front of her children. Disgusting behavior. Glad she lost her job. Spitting on someone is assault she should be charged.

She SHOULD be in jail for assault and battery and her kids should be removed from that toxic home environment.

Another Teachers Union Democrat

Good for Hamden, CT schools for their swift, correct action of firing this racist. They are right, people with those leanings don't belong in a place where they can influence kids.

As well she should have! She needs therapy and CHURCH.

Bigotry as a disease is contagious, and it is contaminating America at a very alarming rate.

Why wasn’t she fired immediately! Need to vet these racists but that’s too much like right!

Thanks to Trump, people think they have a free pass. The video is appalling.

Democrats misbehaving

So now that Collusion has turned into a 3 year Delusion.. We see the Democrats and MSM reduced to their old fall back Racism and Race Baiting in utter desperation..

She did all this in front of 2 children!! Her 2 children!! She is teaching fear through her hate...they will carry this with them.

Trump’s new normal.

Was she wearing a MAGA hat?
