A woke teacher has sparked fury after mocking Florida's CRT rules by forcing his white students to act as slaves for black pupils.
The Florida educator also hit out at the state's recent push to ban certain books from classrooms by sarcastically screaming at the children while throwing their books around his classroom.
Footage of his antics, first posted on TikTok, led to a wave of backlash, where he says he is about to 'run up on these kids' to oppose Florida's school rules.
His bizarre protests come as Governor Ron DeSantis has vowed to crack down on critical race theory in school curriculums across the state.

In the clips posted to social media, the educator is seen forcing white students in his classroom to serve as servants to their black classmates by taking their coats and feeding them snacks.
The teacher, who shared the TikTok videos to his 8,000 followers before they were circulated more widely, also did not cover the children's faces, however DailyMail.com has done so to protect their identities.
One of the videos, titled 'Black History Month... The Shortest Month of the Year' sees the black students made to sit and relax in the middle of the room, while the rest of the kids bow down and worship by their feet.
Another TikTok clip titled 'Problematic Books' shows the teacher frantically running around his classroom while grabbing books out of the students' hands.
'I'm gonna start banning these books right away,' he says, first snatching an edition of a Harry Potter and flinging it across the room.
After he sees one of the students reading a book with a basketball player on the cover, he screams: 'A black boy? No, absolutely not.'
The disturbing encounter continues as he confronts the kids by shouting: 'What you reading? What you reading?'
When he spots one of the students reading a book called 'Class Act,' he bellows in her face: 'I'll show you a class act!'
Later in the clip, the teacher responds to a comment from someone that claimed Florida would 'ban the dictionary' by filming himself gathering dictionaries from the children declaring 'I made a mistake.'
'Your diction will be lesser now, you will not know these words,' he adds.
Taking aim at Florida's push to ban certain books from classrooms, the teacher ends his controversial video by lining the students up and having them repeat 'I shall not read books.'
He adds that the students are no longer allowed to read anything that isn't prohibited by 'the feds'.
The teacher's TikTok account also prominently features clips of children's cartoons, including woke-Disney's under fire show Proud Family - which sparked controversy for shaming characters for 'white fragility' and including musical numbers about reparations for slavery.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis has led the charge against CRT 'indoctrination' in schools
The teacher has faced severe scrutiny after the TikTok videos were circulated online, with one person saying: 'He should be fired and permanently banned from the profession.'
'Wow. He is using the kids as political props to his TikTok? This is awful,' said another.
Numerous people called for the teacher to lose his job, with one commenter adding: 'Not only fired but there should be consequences to this for him.'
Others also took offense to his decision to widely circulate videos of the young schoolkids online.
'Taking video of kids without parents' permission and posting it to social media.. yeah that's problematic to say the least.'
The teacher's outlandish attempt to criticize Florida's school system comes as Governor Ron DeSantis has vowed to crack down on Critical Race Theory and 'woke agendas' in schools around the state.
Last year, potential-2024 hopeful introduced anti-CRT legislation, attempting to ban the ideology from curriculums across Florida.
The bill prohibited teachers from giving lessons that could make students feel 'guilt, anguish or other forms of psychological distress because of actions, in which the person played no part, committed in the past by other members of the same race, color, national origin or sex.'
DeSantis' said his law, named the 'Stop the Wrongs to Our Kids and Employees Act', better known as the 'Stop WOKE Act', was intended to stop CRT 'indoctrinating' kids.
'We believe that every single student matters, every single student counts,' DeSantis said at the time.
'We are not going to categorize you based on your race. We are not going to tell some kindergartener that they're an oppressor based on their race and what may have happened 100 or 200 years ago.
'And we're not going to tell other kids that they're oppressed based on their race.'
A Florida judge later blocked the controversial law, who described it as 'positively dystopian'.
But DeSantis is not alone in his push to eradicate CRT from schools, with at least 26 states introducing bills or taking steps to restrict its teaching in schools or limit how educators can discuss racism and sexism in classrooms.
Among DeSantis' other attempts to wipe out liberal policies in Florida's education is a campaign to force universities to disclose all government funds spent on issues related to critical race theory.
DeSantis' Press Secretary Bryan Griffin told DailyMail.com: 'This is a fact-finding initiative to determine how many public dollars are going towards such things.'
'Governor DeSantis believes that funding for higher education should go towards education – academics and truth – and not trendy ideologies,' he added over the letter, which was send December 28.
