A Florida high school teacher and golf coach was placed on leave after he allegedly threatened black students by saying, "Don't make me call Donald Trump and get you sent back to Africa."

John Sousa is a teacher at Wesley Chapel High School in the Tampa Bay area.

According to Donnie Jones, Jr, the student's father, "He actually admitted saying it. He said it was just an off the wall comment and wasn't meant to be racist.

Jones wrote on Facebook, adding, "Let's be honest here. I could see if he said Donald's going to deport everyone. (Even then I would have questions) but my daughter said he pointed at the 3 black students and said Donald's going to send you back to Africa. I believe he's sorry but he's only sorry because he's in trouble."

I'm sure Trump will add Sousa's name to the pardon list for Day One, right?
