The Superintendent of Cherokee Schools District in Georgia has apologized after a teacher told students they were banned from wearing Trump T-shirts.
A math teacher at River Ridge High School, who has not been named, incorrectly told two students their Make America Great Again (MAGA) shirts violated the school’s dress code and said they were not permitted to wear them to class.
As well as telling the students they were not allowed to wear their preferred clothing, the teacher also shared a personal opinion about the MAGA slogan, in footage that was filmed on Thursday by students and then released online.
And following the filming of the video, the school was forced to apologize to the students, whose clothing choice was not, in fact, a violation of the school's dress code, with the principal of the school meeting with the children and their parents to apologize and discuss the incident.....

These idiots always apologize after the fact - they never think things through the first time but do an okay, we good now apology speech.
Have your kids film everything that happens in their schools. This is probably the only way we’re going to push these fools out.
I looked it up, the county the school is in voted over 70% for Trump. I’m impressed they got the apology out before school started back up tomorrow. They knew this teacher had really, really messed up.
Well, why didn’t they say it was a math teacher in the first place? Move along, nothing to see here... can’t afford to lose a math teacher.
Can the teacher for emotionally traumatizing the students in the classroom.
Then can the principal for allowing an abusive culture to exist at the school.
So the teacher didn’t have to apologize?
I'd be surprised if she didn't slit her own wrists after.
There was a time when Newsweek was a decent publication...way, way back when.
The teacher has been identified. I can’t *imagine* why NewsWeak didn’t name her.

The video is available there, or was.
Now, just what the hell does math class have to do with politics?
Every public school should be abandoned
We can't shut 'em down, but we can stop sending our kids.
Bkmrk
Teacher should be fired.
Just my opinion.
Voucherize the entire school system. Give parents a portion of the budget, and let them send them to the school of their choice. We couldn't possibly get worse results than we have now.
2 X 2 = I hate Trump
Common Core Math
How queer. Nothing in the excerpt where the teacher compared Trump t-shirts to swastikas.
The teacher was a Democrat Bully.
I thought schools today “banned” bullying.
To clarify, it’s not an indictment of the excerpting, I won’t give Newsweak the webhits and had seen previous articles on this controversy.
Why do I think the students knew the lib teacher would be upset and set her up. Good for them.................
