He told them Black and Latino voters didn’t support Kamala Harris because she has a “vagina and uterus,” and claimed that Latino voters who support Trump want to be white. The teacher has been placed on administrative leave while the incident is under investigation, according to a Moreno Valley Unified School District spokesperson. Tuesday’s board meeting reached a fever pitch as some parents demanded that he be fired, while multiple students asked the district to consider their teacher’s character and not judge his entire career on one incident. “I believe that the way he approached it was a little unprofessional,” student Ezell Moreno said before the board meeting. “I believe that he had good faith, but is he going to be fired for one incident when he’s done so many good things throughout his time as a teacher?” The school district did not identify the teacher and did not take any actions regarding his future as an educator. Students identified him as Maximiliano Perez, a history teacher who has participated in multiple school clubs, including the chess club. He could not be reached for comment. California The Valley View High School history teacher called Trump a ‘rapist draft-dodging coward’ during an emotionally distraught lecture, according to a recording. In a recording of his lecture that was shared by a conservative commentator on X, Perez asked his students pointed questions about a second Trump presidency, but did not seem to invite a discourse as he railed against the once and future president. “Can you end up with no human rights? Yes. Will it happen to you? Most likely not. Which is a good thing, but has Donald Trump quoted Hitler? Yes. Does he embody some of Hitler’s ideas? Yes,” he told his students in the video. Five students expressed their support for Perez at the board meeting, describing him as a dedicated teacher who encourages independent thinking and cares deeply about the well-being of his students. One student, Jailene Bailey, even credited him with saving her life by offering support when she was struggling with her mental health. “Mr. Perez saved my life and helped me further pursue my education by telling me that I matter in the sea of thousands of students, and I believe that he has the power to help other students just as he helped me,” she said. “I really hope that in the future I will still be able to see him and give him the biggest smile and wave.” But several parents and other adults in the Moreno Valley community said that Perez’s inappropriate and racially charged outburst merits serious disciplinary action. “I’m here to complain about the teacher that had the vulgar political language,” said Oscar Avila. “I say you strip him, he can’t work with schools anymore, remove him of his duties.” As a Latino, Avila said he was especially upset by Perez’s recorded comments telling Latino students that a lot of their fathers, uncles, and grandfathers “want to be white.” Student Joel Mata acknowledged that Perez’s recent behavior “is not to be dismissed,” but asked school board members to focus on students’ testimony of his character. Mata said that, counter to narratives being presented online, Perez does not force his beliefs on his students. “‘I don’t care if you’re a Republican or a Democrat, join your party and make it better,’ this is a direct quote from Mr. Perez, the so-called indoctrinator at our school,” said Mata. The principal of Beverly Hills High School told students they could no longer ‘congregate, circle up, shout, jump, etc.,’ according to a message sent out to parents and students. Student Damian Ayonn said that Perez is an “essential figure for many students here, not just as an educator, but as a mentor, a supporter and a guide through some of the most challenging moments of our lives.” He urged the school board to consider the “profound impact” that Perez has had on the Valley View community and realize that “his absence would leave a gap in our lives that no other teacher could fill.” Kenneth Prado, a trustee in the neighboring Hemet Unified School District who was speaking in his capacity as an individual, said the students’ speeches didn’t change his opinion. “I’ve heard students sit here and say how they admire him as a teacher,” said Prado. “That may be so, but when you’re in a position like that, you are held up to a bigger standard.” Community member Fred Banuelos, who attended the meeting in a “Trump 2024” T-shirt, said that Perez’s outburst and use of profanity were unacceptable. “There’s got to be consequences for things that you say,” he said. “I’m not sure if you should get fired, but … there needs to be some major consequences.” Several dozen students walked out of class Tuesday morning in protest and asked the school district to reinstate their teacher, according to video from OnSceneTV. “At the end of the speech, he offered everybody a hug or if they wanted to talk about it further,” student Devonee Casas said. “They twisted his narrative into believing something else.” “I think this was taken completely out of context, and it made him look bad,” said student Jada Carroll, who was in class during the lecture. “I’m proud of our school for speaking up about this. It’s good to see that people truly do care.” Nathan Solis reports on breaking news with the Fast Break team at the Los Angeles Times.

In exchange for his admissions, prosecutors dropped three related charges. During a hearing at the Riverside Hall of Justice Monday, Superior Court Judge Joshlyn Pulliam certified the terms of the plea deal and imposed the sentence stipulated by the prosecution and defense. The judge additionally directed the Department of Probation to determine the appropriate monetary restitution to be paid by the defendant to the victim's family. Griffin killed Danelle Aguirre of Moreno Valley on Aug. 15, 2022. According to the California Highway Patrol, at 2:25 that morning, the defendant was going northbound on the 71, just north of the Riverside (91) Freeway in Corona, in a Lexus SC430 when he approached a Dodge Ram pickup just ahead of him. Officer Javier Navarro said Griffin plowed into the rear of the truck at an unknown speed, causing the driver — whose identity was not released — to lose control and veer off of the highway, where the Dodge overturned. The pickup's passenger, Aguirre, was fatally injured. The driver suffered unspecified minor injuries, from which he has since recovered. Navarro said Griffin raced away from the crash and fled south of the border, where a joint investigation by the U.S. Marshals and Mexican State Police uncovered his whereabouts, culminating in his apprehension within a couple of weeks. Specific details regarding how the CHP identified the defendant as the hit-and-run driver were not provided. Griffin had no documented prior felony convictions. However, court documents showed that at the time of his arrest, he had an unresolved case for being an unlicensed driver of a vehicle in 2021. Print The Moreno Valley Unified School District placed a history teacher on leave after he gave a profanity-filled lecture to his students about Donald Trump the day after the former president won a second term The Valley View High School history teacher called Trump a “rapist draft-dodging coward” during an emotionally distraught lecture on Wednesday, according to a recording of the lecture that was posted to X by a conservative commentator 2024An earlier version of this article included a photo of Moreno Valley High School The teacher who was put on leave works at Valley View High The teacher — whom the district has not publicly identified — told his students that Black and Latino voters did not support Kamala Harris because she has “a vagina and uterus” and that Latino voters who support Trump want to be white “This sh— is not a f— game,” the teacher told his students A spokesperson with the Moreno Valley Unified School District said the teacher was placed on administrative leave pending a review of the incident. The English-only rule was put in place after someone overheard two employees speaking Spanish at work “We were recently made aware of an incident at one of our high schools in which a staff member’s discussion about the election results turned unprofessional,” the statement said “We do not condone the behavior that occurred and an immediate investigation has been launched We recognize the heightened emotions surrounding the current political climate and we deeply value the diversity of our community which encompasses a wide range of perspectives and beliefs Our goal is to foster a respectful and inclusive learning environment that supports all students.” The district did not identify the staff member by name A petition on Change.org to reinstate the teacher has more than 1,200 signatures in support of him returning to class The school’s website lists a Maximiliano Perez as an Advanced Placement teacher The Times was unable to confirm the identity of the teacher placed on leave The teacher’s union representing employees from the Moreno Valley Unified School District did not respond to requests for comment about the teacher’s status and the teacher could not be immediately reached for comment At least two students who spoke to news station KABC said they understood their teacher’s lecture was meant to frame the election results and he apologized to several students after class. “I think they’re trying to make him seem like a bad guy because of what he said,” student Mykael James told the news station. She was in class during her teacher’s lecture. “I know it was very strong toned, but that’s how he gives his lecture as a professor.” “It’s just devastating to know that they’re trying to get him out all because of his opinion,” student Sarah Ghawi told the news station.
