A Florida educator was recently placed on leave after she was caught calling children “half breeds” and “retards,” in a hate-filled rant on Monday.
The woman, identified as Patricia Schmidt, is seen on video unleashing a hateful tirade aimed at a woman and her children. After the video made its rounds on social media, Schmidt was placed on leave from her job as an "exceptional" student education specialist at Lely Elementary School in Collier County, FL.
Schmidt reportedly began verbally attacking the woman and her children whom she suspected of trespassing in the neighborhood. She can be heard yelling, “Your son must be special ed. He’s a retard. Your son is a retard,” adding, “You can’t afford to live in Kings Lake. You are white trash.”
“Are those your mulatto kids? You had sex with a black guy? Your kids are half breeds. Look at them,” she continued.
According to Schmidt's neighbors, this isn't a rare occurrence. “Spotlights on the house, verbal abuse,” said Doug Rankin, whose mother lived next to Schmidt for years. “It was not pleasant for her. It was basically, well, it ended up killing her, so it was like hell."
“I can guarantee you that’s not the first mother and children she’s done that to. I’ve seen her do it to people. I’ve seen her yell at people, I don’t know how many times,” said John Courtright. “We kind of hope that maybe, at this point, it will bring to a point where somebody will really do something. That something will happen,” he said.
It is important to note, the Colliers County Office has said that Schmidt did not commit a crime.
