The 11 year-old Dancing Trumps from Fiske Elementary School in Wellesley, Massachusetts were banned from entering the talent show.
One of the parents complained.
Three 11-year-old boys attending Fiske Elementary School in Wellesley, MA were forbidden by the school’s administration from performing a benign, wordless, apolitical dance routine while wearing comically oversized Donald Trump masks.
Christian Mattaliano, Marc Maggiacomo, and David Maggiacomo had been dubbed the Bobblehead Boys after performing a similar number last year, only then they wore masks bearing the face of the school’s retiring principal.
When the three boys became the Dancing Trumps at the morning edition of this past Wednesday’s school talent show, “at least one” parent complained, according to the Boston Globe, which led to school officials forbidding the boys from reprising the performance at Wednesday’s evening talent show.
Whether the complainant was offended because of pro or anti-Trump sentiments is unclear, though a similar skit performed by Wellesley grade-schoolers acting as Donald Trump and Marco Rubio was also nixed from the night show, apparently because a parent found it disparaging to the Republican Party.
One of the boys’ parents, Laurie Mattaliano, told the Globe that the experience has left the boys feeling like they did something wrong even though, “No words were spoken. It’s just pop culture. The skit took no stance in support or defamation.”
Trump, Trump, Trump. Mmmm, mmmm, mmmm.
Minority rule again.
Oh for heaven sakes. Now one parent’s complaint is all it takes to destroy the first amendment.
Parents fault for sending them to public school in MA.
My money is on a Liberal PIG from Taxachusetts who complained. Those idiots LOVE paying taxes to “Big Brother”
Then why are politicians allowed to speak at schools???
I would love to see them perform at one of Trumps Rallies.
**One of the parents complained.**
One complaint.
We’ve been turned into a pathetic sissified hyper sensitive culture because decision makers are afraid of the PC police. That’s what many of us like about Trump. He represents the only force against this PC BS forced upon us by the Communist inspired and owned media.
Oh, good grief... how hypersensitive is our nation becoming, anyway? Of all the entitlement-minded, hyper-reactive nonsense...
They’d give them a key to the city if they had the “Prancing Homosexual Dance Group”.
I’m very, very tired of this.
Jeb! say, that nominations MINE. I’m WHITE. I’m ENTITLED. But then here come Donald Trump, mmm, mmm, mmm.

This looks more like in your face fascism than PC to me.
That took a lot of practice
PLUS getting young men that age to dance in front of their piers is not common. They should have been praised not criticized
The school admins didn't want it and "said" one parent complained.
I wonder how a grade school dance troupe would be
received if they portrayed ALL of the presidential
candidates? I would be inclined to
appreciate the fact that they are
showing an interest in current events
even though in a humorous way.
Don’t you all realize that your rights end at liberals feelings? If they didn’t we’d be deluged with neurotic liberals wailing in the streets.
