A secretary for a Connecticut public school district resigned from her job after she was caught on a viral video berating a man and calling him the N-word during a fight in a grocery store, the school district said.

Corinne Terrone, who worked for the Hamden school district, is seen on the video shouting at the man and repeatedly calling him the racist term at a ShopRite in the city on Friday night.

Terrone then spits at him after the racist tirade, the video shows.

The Hamden school district investigated the altercation after the video went viral, and Terrone promptly resigned from her post, a Hamden Public Schools Superintendent Jody Ian Goeler said.

“The language the employee used in the video is in conflict with the values of the Hamden Public School System,” the school district said in a statement.

“Someone who will use that sort of language in any setting, whether public or private, is not someone we want anywhere near our children,” they added.

Terrone could not immediately be reached for comment.
