Everybody’s not feeling the Halloween spirit.   A teacher in Akron, Ohio posted a racist Facebook rant about trick-or-treaters that come to his “hood” and has now been put on leave for the post.

The author of the racist post, Firestone High school teacher, David Spondike, hit his Facebook page Sunday night to let his followers know how he feels about kids from the “ghetto” coming to his home.  

The screenshots of the rant was sent to local news outlets by an anonymous Facebook friend.  Thanks for friends.  The teacher seemed to be upset about one kid urinating outside.

Some of his Facebook followers questioned his language, but the teacher’s defense was that he hears black use the “N” word more than 25 times a day at the public school. He goes on to say, “Racism is racism and to allow one race to use (a) word and not another IS racist.  What I said was absolutely NOT racist by any stretch of the imagination.”

Civil rights leaders are now calling for the Ohio teacher to be fired.
