Fourth Grader In Tears After Teacher FORCES Boy To Wash Off Cross – On Ash Wednesday

Imagine if this fourth-grade boy was anything other than Christian. Would his teacher have forced him to wash off a religious symbol?

That was probably rhetorical. From New York Post:

SALT LAKE CITY — A teacher in the predominantly Mormon state of Utah was placed on administrative leave after she forced a Catholic student to wash off the Ash Wednesday cross from his forehead.

William McLeod, 9, had just returned to his school near Salt Lake City after attending Catholic Mass when his fourth-grade teacher called the ash marking “inappropriate” and gave him a hand wipe to clean it off in front of his classmates, grandmother Karen Fisher said.

At first William explained that he couldn’t remove it because it was important for the beginning of Easter, but eventually obliged, Fisher said.

“He went to see the school’s psychologist crying,” said Fisher. “He was embarrassed.”

The incident at Valley View Elementary in Bountiful, Utah, is being taken very seriously and an investigation into whether disciplinary action will be levied against William’s teacher has been opened, said Davis School District spokesman Chris Williams. In the meantime, she isn’t teaching, he said.

“The actions were unacceptable,” Williams said. “No student should ever be asked or required to remove an ash cross from his or her forehead.” If this isn’t a form of religious persecution in American education, then what is?

“1984” is becoming more of a reality with each passing day, no matter how much conservatives do to combat it. What’s next? Maybe Catholic kids won’t be allowed in public schools at all?

Is that so far-fetched given the state of liberalism today?

School Bus Aide Caught On Camera SCREAMING At Teen Over MAGA Hat, Rips It Off His Head

The left is so triggered by a hat that it has become comical.

Well, it was pretty funny at one point until liberals started getting violent about it. Here’s just the latest example…

An investigation regarding a school bus aide has opened up in Florida, after the woman was caught on a surveillance video yelling at a student to take off his MAGA hat, before removing it from his head herself.

Gunnar Johansson, 14, told WPTV that students at Hidden Oaks Middle School were allowed to wear a hat to school this week if they donated to the March of Dimes. However, he never expected to have his cap pulled off before he even got to school.

The footage obtained by the local Florida outlet shows the teen wearing a hat that says “Make America Great Again,” along with President Donald Trump‘s name. Johansson said he chose to wear it “to show my pride in Trump America.” The aide seemed to think that the show of support wasn’t appropriate.

“Boy, if you don’t take that hat off on this bus…” the aide is heard saying in the video. “Take it off!”

Johansson said that he was confused by the aide’s reaction and asked why he wasn’t able to wear it.

“She threatened me with a referral and threatened to turn the bus around,” he told WPTV. “I said, ‘Write me up, I didn’t do anything wrong.’ And then she yanked my hat off.”

Police in Martin County, Fla., are investigating after a school bus aide grabbed one of President Trump's "Make America Great Again" hats off the head of a student.

Surveillance video from school bus heading to Hidden Oaks Middle School showed the altercation between the aide and 14-year-old Gunnar Johansson, NBC affiliate WPTV reported Friday.

Johansson told the outlet that students are allowed to wear a hat to school this week if they made a donation to March of Times.

He said he decided to wear one of the president’s signature campaign hats to “show my pride in Trump America" but was confronted by an aide on the school bus.

“Boy, if you don’t ... that hat off this bus… take it off. Take that hat off… take that hat off…” the bus aide, who has not been identified, is heard saying in the footage obtained by the outlet.

Johansson said he was “really confused” as the bus aide continued to tell him to take the hat off and put it in his backpack.

“She, like, threatened me with a referral and threatened to turn the bus around. I said ‘write me up, I didn’t do anything wrong’, and then she yanked my hat off. It was crazy,” Johansson said.

Martin County Lt. Ryan Grimsdale told WPTV that they were reviewing the video and interviewing the witnesses on the bus amid the investigation.

“The crux of our investigation will be the interaction directly, physically with the child and how that panned out,” Grimsdale said.

Johansson was reportedly the only student who was told he couldn’t wear his hat on the bus. He texted his mother, Jackie Putt, from the bus.

“I immediately went to the school,” Putt told the outlet. “I needed to know what my son just went through and what she did to my son.

Putt said she believes the aide’s action are politically motivated so she filed a police report after learning she would not be able to see the video until after the school district’s investigation closed, according to WPTV.

“The district is aware of the family’s allegations. We’re taking it very seriously. We’re in the process of gathering all the facts right now,” said Frank Frangella, Director of Safety and Security for the Martin County School District.

h school student charged with assaulting classmate wearing MAGA hat

An Oklahoma high school student was reportedly charged with assault and battery this week after an altercation with a classmate wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat and one of President Trump’s banners as a cape.

The charges against Kenneth Dewayne Jones, 18, were filed in a municipal court in Edmond, Okla., city attorney Steve Murdock told Oklahoma's Enid News and Eagle.

The charge comes after Jones, who is African-American, was seen on video knocking off the MAGA hat of a younger white student at Santa Fe High School.

The newspaper reported that the family of Lane Roberson, 17, released a press release about the incident.

“We were informed by him that a couple hours prior he had been assaulted by another student and that the school had done nothing about it,” David Roberson, the student's father, said in the statement.

The student was reportedly wearing the merchandise from the Trump campaign last month during the school’s annual Double Wolf Dare Week.

“Take it off or I’ll rip it off … do you want me to rip it off?” Jones is heard saying in the video.

Jones was also issued a ticket by a school resource officer, Edmond Police spokeswoman Jenny Wagnon told the Enid News and Eagle.

The families of the two students entered into a five-day mediation process offered by the city but did not come to a resolution, the newspaper reported.

David Roberson said he advised Murdock to pursue the criminal assault charges against Jones.

“We are proud that our son has and will continue to show his patriotism, love for his country, and support for the president of the United States of America, Donald Trump,” Roberson said.

The newspaper said that it did not get a response from Jones to a request for comment.
