A Union Mine High School student is facing battery charges after an altercation in her classroom over a Donald Trump “Make America Great Again” campaign hat.
The teacher is seen trying to subdue fired-up 17-year-old senior Jo-Ann Butler, after she became enraged at a classmate for wearing the “Make America Great Again” hat. She grabbed the hat off his head.
“That’s a racist and hateful symbol,” Butler said.
She is now facing two counts of battery, one against her classmate and one against her teacher who deputies say she slapped, as he escorted her from the room.
Butler says she made the scene to express her political feelings.
“Maybe just wake people up in some type of way, because it’s not cool the environment our classroom is in,” Butler said.
Her father says he does not approve of the way she behaved in class.
“Wasn’t handled the way I’d like it,” Chis Butler said.
Now he’s faced with the legal impact of his daughter’s now alleged criminal act. All centered around the political divide across the country.
“I don’t agree with grabbing someone’s hat and verbally talking to them in that way,” Chris Butler said. “But as far as the issue being brought up, maybe this is something that needs to be brought up.”
The El Dorado Union High School District’s clothing policy does allow students to wear political symbols.
A statement released by the district reads:
“…student and staff safety is our highest priority and the UMHS administration will continue to cooperate with the El Dorado County Sheriff’s Office as the incident is being investigated.”
Besides her arrest, Jo-Ann Butler has been suspended from school for a week. The El Dorado County District Attorney will likely decide later this week whether she will be formally charged.

True ... no wonder she hates the world so much...
The Marxist Media, Leftist “entertainers”, teachers, Hollywood and The Democrat party are responsible for inciting violence against President Trump supporters everywhere.
BULLYING AS A POLITICAL STATEMENT??
This won’t go well.
The media’s virtual assassination attempt on our president is responsible for this outrageous behavior.
Imagine an alternate universe where a student grabbed another student’s Hope & Change hat and then assaulted a teacher. How would the media respond?

yes
Hmmm.... one wonders if raping her would be just a political statement?
“From each according to ability” is theft and a (so-called) political statement.
I wouldn't be surprised if she already has TWO dates lined up, already: Smith and Wesson.
Yeah, like making a political statement when you key a car with a political bumper sticker.
I don’t think El Dorado County is one of the far left areas of Ca.
As far as the dad goes, I think he did the right thing.
IMO, this will not be prosecuted. One week’s vacation from school will probably go for the penalty. The little twit will be emboldened and add a year onto her age and perhaps her next tangle with the law will not be as smooth.
“Now he’s faced with the legal impact of his daughter’s now alleged criminal act.”
It is not an “alleged” criminal act... it is a confessed criminal act. Very least theft, worst assault.
I am surprised they ID’d the 17 yo POS. Someone will probably pay for that.
Butler says she made the scene to express her political feelings.
You can make all the political statements you want but you cannot steal someone’s property or assault them to do it.
That is a fairly conservative part of California...
Jo-Ann, you are not only ignorant and stupid, you are evil.
Very unfortunate hairdo...
That's a price she's willing to pay (/sarc) for all the accolades she'll get on social media.
She damn sure isn't getting any praise for her looks.
