A student at Stafford Elementary is recovering Wednesday after being beaten by several of his classmates.
He says it was during a mock election when the class was asked, “Who voted for Donald Trump?”
In an exclusive interview with FOX 26, the 11-year-old boy involved and his family tell us what happened.
“This is America,” said Mary Lemmon, the mother of the student beaten. “Everyone has the right to their own opinion, and they shouldn’t be beat up for it.”
But just a day after Donald Trump was elected President, that’s exactly what happened to her son at Stafford Elementary School.
“These boys decided to ask the classroom, ‘Who voted for Donald Trump?’ And then I said, ‘I did.’ And then they come over here and jerked me out of my seat,” said the student. “Before I could get up they started kicking me and punching me.”
The student’s name was protected by request of his parents. But he told us the classroom did have a teacher present. He said when he was on the ground, it “felt like it was forever”.
“We have not really gotten a clear explanation of how long this went on and why did it take so long for it to be stopped?” said his father Buddy Lemmon.
The Lemmons said they received a call from the principal of the school immediately after the incident.
“I took him to the hospital, we went and made a statement to the police officers, and then I took him to the emergency room so he could get some x-rays done.”
Lemmon said her son has deep bruises throughout his body. After speaking with Stafford MSD, they gave us a statement that says:
The Stafford Municipal School District is investigating an altercation that took place on its Intermediate School campus on Wednesday morning. The students allegedly involved in the altercation have been suspended, pending an investigation.Upon completion of the investigation, consequences will be applied in line with the District’s Code of Conduct.The Stafford Municipal School District works diligently to ensure a safe environment for all students and staff and will not tolerate aggression of any kind. “I know we've been very opinionated on this election, but I’ve never said anything to the point where I would incite violence,” said Buddy Lemmon. “My son doesn’t have a mean bone in his body.”
The Lemmon’s said they have pressed charges against the students involved in the incident. They added that they hope their story encourages parents to speak to their children on how to be compassionate and accepting to those that believe differently.
“That’s what America’s about. We had to respect the last election results, and I feel like everyone should respect this election’s results.”
Looking in vain for any hint that his assailants have been arrested or punished.
But at least his family are pressing charges.
If they're Germen, ship 'em back ... Asian? ... send 'em back .... dark complected ... boot 'em out !
ETC.
CANCER HAS ALWAYS BEEN TREATED BY RADICAL KILLING OF CELLS !
I should have proofed myself ... I meant the ones who beat him up .... SHEESH !
Obama’s campaign was built on Hope, Hillary’s campaign was built on getting people to hate Trump and Trump supporters. That’s why all the talk on nazis and the KKK by her surrogates; Team Hillary wanted to gin up as much anger and hate as possible to beat Trump.
Well congratulations Team Hillary, you have filled the hearts of tens-of-thousands of young people with HATE!
Okay, it looks like this is in Texas.
I see the Left is teaching their children about how to fight hate and promote love: gang up on and beat the crap out of anyone who disagrees with you.
The teachers should be punished!
They are setting it up to expose the bird that is different so the others will peck it to death.
This is part of the indoctrination package and is very intentional in my opinion.
I know not all teachers are like that so all of you teachers up in here, this isn’t about you.
Love trumps hate.
All Alinsky.
All the time.
Here’s an educational film for the class on Despotism from 1946.

Obama’s Safe Schools Czar doesn’t care about brownshirt beatdowns of Republicans.
No more Czars in Trump’s America.
Beautiful!
This un-American crap happened after Bush was re-elected in 2004 as well.
But then they name the parents...duh!
