A New Jersey high school teacher has been removed from classrooms while the school investigates him for allegedly using vulgar and racist language.

Teacher Howard Zlotkin's alleged expletive-filled rant reportedly occurred during a Zoom class with students at Jersey City's William L. Dickinson High School.

The Zoom class reportedly started with a lesson on climate change but quickly shifted as Zlotkin unexpectedly began a tirade against the students.

"If you think I'm privileged, then f**k you, because my daughter thinks I'm privileged and I don't speak to her," he can be seen saying during the class recording.
