Two San Antonio high school students and their teacher have been reprimanded for performing a skit portraying the assassination of Donald Trump.
A slap on the wrist? Outraged parents at the school are wondering why the boys weren't suspended or expelled and the teacher fired.
“The Assassination of Donald Trump,” performed last week at Marshall High School in San Antonio, featured one student making a gunfire sound effect with his cell phone as the other, portraying Mr. Trump, fell to the ground, parents told the San Antonio Express-News.
Students were required to submit descriptions of their presentations for approval by their English teacher, but the two offending students changed their skit after it was already approved, the Express-News reported.
Barry Perez, spokesman for the Northside Independent School District, said campus officials determined that the teacher did not condone the skit and ended up putting a stop to it.
Parent Harold Bean questioned why the teacher even allowed the skit to begin once she heard the title.
“Pardon my language, but I think that it’s a bunch of B.S. if they’re going to tell you the kids were stopped,” Mr. Bean told the Express-News.
The district spokesman said “appropriate action” had been taken to reprimand both the boys and their teacher.
The parents, however, said the students should at least be suspended, citing instances where children across the country have been suspended for making gun gestures with their hands or simulating gunfire, the Express-News reported.
“Honestly, I have run out of words to describe how angry I am and how shocked I am that they’re still in school today,” Mr. Bean’s wife, Melinda, said.
Fox News points out that this incident is indicative of how the election has affected kids as young as elementary-school age:
The misguided skit was just one in a slew of controversial acts happening across the country in the wake of Trump’s win over Democrat Hillary Clinton on Election Day.
Most media coverage following Trump’s victory has focused on sometimes violent protests in cities around the country, but it is now clear the election's reverberations are being felt all the way down to elementary schools.
When even children feel enabled to attack pro-Trump students, you have to wonder if the white-hot rhetoric of hate directed against Trump by grown up leftists will eventually morph into calls for his death.
Trump is being portrayed as a cross between Hitler and the devil. He is being vilified for holding racist views. His proposed policies are being characterized as "dangerous" to some. It seems a logical next step for some on the left to begin calling for someone to take out this menace in the name of preserving "diversity."
Sane, rational people probably won't take a shot at President Trump. But a mentally ill person who hears the over-the-top rhetoric of the left may decide he will be thought a hero for killing the president
That scenario is becoming more likely by the day.
How long before TRUMP supporters start calling for their assassinations? This is a two way sword.
If an American calls for the assassination of the President, it is a felony. If EU Leftists start calling for the assassination of the US President and they are not disciplined for “hate speech” as the EU has persecuted conservative speech, then the US government will need to severely discipline the offending countries.
To answer the question posed: Five minutes before the start of CWII.
How long before prominent leftists calling for Trumps’s assassination are arrested and put in jail? Probably won’t happen until after Jan. 20.
I used to wonder where Adolf Hitler found the human degenerates who made up the SS and the Nazi scum. After watching Obama and the scum he gathered around him, the lawless, immoral, thugs and idiots who will rationalize literally anything, willfully remain ignorant about criminal activity, treason.and gleefully give up liberty and rights; it is people from the Democratic Party. Socialist Democratic Party, Democrats, Socialists they are all the same.
Simply too cowardly and gutless to don the Nazi uniform. Their beliefs are the same. Power and hate at any cost.
I’m sure Jeff Spicoli has another movie in the works.
It is almost a certainty that anyone engaging in the referenced activity should immediately have their full name, photo ID, their places [addresses] of residence and employment, their personal vehicles and tag numbers, in other words, the full anal exam, placed on the web and widely disseminated. And this would be just for openers - you follow?
I would say...not very long when you have a provocative headline staring you in the face almost every day.
They want to start a war with people who have guns, have ammo and know how to shoot? Also those used to eliminating vermin?
Stay classy Texas
How many of these headlines were for GHWB; GWB or Clinton or Barky???
They already are, and have been for some time.
Obama has already refused to try to calm the rioters. In fact he has encouraged it. He is responsible for their violence.
And who gave had, by God, enough.
Power of the magnitude of that concentrated in Washington is a magnet for these low-lifes. Washington abounds with them.
The Clinton and Obama Administrations abounded with them also, and they composed Hillary's campaign organization.
The Clintons dwell among such low-lifes--just like Adolf Hitler did. These are the people whom they surround themselves with.
This Thanksgiving, America must express her most profound gratitude to God for delivering her from this scum. Had the 2016 Election gone the other way, we would be at their mercy; they would be in control of the USA.
How long will they be in jail for doing just that?
They already are. They’re just using surrogates. Useful idiots.
What ever happened to the zero tolerance of poptarts shaped like pistols?
“How long before TRUMP supporters start calling for their assassinations? This is a two way sword.”
The radical left wants a war and expects us to stand there and be defenseless while they hit us. I think they are going to be in for a rude awakening once they try to get physical with us in red states.
