A Pennsylvania middle school teacher has been placed on administrative leave for spewing racist remarks at a parent after the two got into a fender bender on Thursday morning.

In a video posted on Facebook on Thursday, the Drexel Hill Middle School teacher can be seen going into a racist rant against parent, Rasheed Noel, after the two got into a minor car accident during the school's student drop-off period. The school district has not officially released the teacher's name.

"You're probably on welfare," she can be heard saying while she tries to buff her truck's bumper.

"It's because I'm young and I'm black, and [that's] the reason why you would say that," Noel says.

"That's right, [it's] because you're black," the teacher responds. "Always looking to milk the system. And you see me, a white woman, so you think I got money."

"Go back to your welfare or your section 8 house," the teacher later added, referring to the city's low-income housing. "Do you see the big truck I have? Look at the piece of s*** you have."

Noel rebuts the woman's claims, saying he makes "six figures a year" and has "a 3,200 square foot home." After he repeatedly calls her "mad and nervous," the woman responds, "Oh, you go f*** off" and then called him a racially derogatory term.

Her name is Renee Greeley:

The incident came to light late Thursday, when Rasheed Noel posted a video to his Facebook page of a heated exchange he had with Renee Greeley after a fender bender in the school’s parking lot that morning.

Greeley, a teacher with the district since 2008, did not return a request for comment Friday.

"fat pension" probably not "fat", not a CEO, but probably decent (meaning equivalent or greater than SS) at 23 years.

She is an idiot.

She should never be allowed to teach - not even be a dog trainer.

They just have to go through the proper steps.

She's too stupid to know that everything is on camera for the record nowadays and hopefully she'll never get another job that involves children.

if she gets that angry and worked up over a fender bender what does she do when a child acts up. Also, she's a racist no doubt.

Didn’t see the beginning, but there was no reason to engage with a person that is upset that poses no threat.

My opinion.

people learn that this is not acceptable behavior? And how stupid does someone have to be to not understand what the consequences of such behavior will be?

Who goes off like that over a fender bender? I know teacher dress codes aren't like when I was in school, but who dresses like they are going to the gym instead of the classroom?
