Blame the bankers!

A left-leaning humanities teacher at a Brooklyn middle school handed out a homework assignment this month in which students had to fill in the following sentence:

“Banks are often run by ————— people who look for ways to hurt the most financially vulnerable people in the country.”

Students had to choose among five words to fill in the blank — with “nefarious” or “reprehensible” as the only possible answers.

Francesca Gomes, 40, a veteran teacher at the New Voices School of Academic & Creative Arts in Sunset Park, assigned the work to her 7th-grade class.

Gomes has been outspoken on lefty causes and is part of the United Federation of Teacher’s Social Justice Caucus. She is also a member of Socialist Alternative, the group that pushed for the election of a socialist candidate to Seattle’s city council in 2013.

Gomes leans further left than even Mayor de Blasio, and blasted him on social media in April for a comment he made at a Staten Island forum when asked about a “gag order” on teachers disparaging state tests.

The mayor said, “Think of what it would lead to if teachers openly criticized every education policy they disagreed with,” the Staten Island Advance reported.

“Um … I don’t know, maybe meaningful improvements? Screw you, De Blasio,” Gomes wrote on her Facebook page.

New Voices Principal Frank Giordano did not respond to messages seeking comment. When confronted at her Brooklyn home, Gomes slammed the door in a reporter’s face.

In February, a Staten Island middle school teacher took heat — and had a disciplinary letter placed in her file — after she placed a question about President Trump on a vocabulary worksheet.

“President Trump speaks in a very superior and __ manner insulting many people. He needs to be more ___ so that the American people respect and admire him.”

The answers were “haughty” and “humble.”

The teacher defended herself to one outraged parent — whose child lost points on the assignment for not answering the question — and said the question was not meant as a political statement.

And a teacher at Susan Wagner HS received a letter of reprimand for bashing Trump before the November election, tirades that were recorded by one of his students.
