Eighteen minutes of the unidentified Academy 1 Middle School teacher's 45-minute rant caught her saying "The whites aren’t coming here shooting you all down. Are they? Are they? How many white people came and shot you today?” the outlet said.

She also apparently asked students “What are your chances in life of doing something with yourself other than sitting home waiting for your welfare check," according to NJ.com.

The school district's interim superintendent Norma Fernandez did not immediately return Daily Voice's request for comment, however, she confirmed the incident to NJ.com, calling it "appalling."
