A teacher who was let go from her job at a New Jersey school last year has filed a lawsuit claiming to have been sexually harassed by fifth graders before her termination.

In the motion filed on Monday, Denise Kruse, 36, alleges that students from the Community Charter School of Paterson made 'thrusting motions' behind her, asked if she ever performed oral sex, and even reached down their pants and touched their genitals in front of her.

Kruse also claims students would put their hands up to tell her they were sexually aroused in her class, and secretly uploaded videos of her buttocks to Snapchat.

Her lawyer, Heidi Weintraub, believes the school and its senior officials failed to adequately protect Kruse from the harassment.

The suit also raises allegations of discrimination and unfair dismissal against the school's African-American CEO, Curtis Palmore.

Kruse claims Palmore decided not to renew her contract as part of a plan to replace white staff members with black educators he'd previously worked with in The Bronx, New York.

In response to the former teacher's complaint, Community Charter issued a statement on Thursday insisting harassment and discrimination are not tolerated at the school.

'The Community Charter School of Paterson is deeply committed to creating a workplace and learning community that is free of harassment or discrimination of any kind, where students and staff alike feel safe, supported and cared for,' the statement read.

'While the school cannot comment on a complaint that has not been served, or publicly discuss an employee’s job performance, one can be assured that the school’s protocols for investigating and addressing sexual harassment, discrimination and retaliation are consistent, fair and thorough,' it continued.

However, in the lawsuit, Kruse accuses Charter Community of creating a hostile work environment and for violating her rights by ignoring her sexual harassment complaints, which she believes were a factor in her termination.

The mother-of-two specializes in special education. She was re-assigned from her post to teach remedial math to fifth-graders in February 2018, where the harassment started soon after

According to her lawyer, Kruse started working at Community Charter in February 2016 as a special education teacher. Two-years later, she was reassigned to teach remedial math to fifth-graders.

The lawsuit details that Kruse had trouble controlling the class who were 'disrespectful' and continuously misbehaved.

Kruse said she raised the issues to Palmore but believes he failed to take any effective measures to stem the behavior.

On May 15, 2018, the mother-of-two was told her contract wouldn't be renewed any further and she says she was offered no explanation as to why.

'The circumstances surrounding [the administration’s] failure to renew [Kruse’s] contract for the 2018-19 school year and then replace her with African-American teachers, is sufficiently suspicious to warrant the conclusion that she was discriminated against,' Weintraub wrote in the lawsuit.

According to NorthJersey.com, Kruse's allegations come as one of several against charter schools in Paterson over the last few years.

Last year, Community Charter were forced to pay $90,000 in damages to a substitute teacher after she claims one of the school's administrators, Manny Martinez, sexually harassed her.

Principal of the College Achieve Charter school, Henry McNair, has also been accused of sexual misconduct at two different schools in the state.
