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.

Maybe the other kid should make a political statement of his own and punch crazy Jo-Ann in the mouth while shouting, “Trump in 2020. Because, F—k You!”
True, but not as conservative as next door here in Placer County. Population 260,000, highest % GOP registration, just over 50, for a county this size or bigger ( a number of much smaller counties do have a higher %)
While what you wrote is fundamentally correct, with respect I would suggest it is imprecise. Because someone from the left will not feel justified to resort to violence in reaction to all matters of political disagreement. A certain amount of leeway can be granted when debating various topics of leftist orthodoxy.
It is political thought on the right of the spectrum, particularly anything emanating from Republicans, that must be squashed by any means necessary. Leftists are taught that Republicans are the philosophical heirs of Nazism. They are racist, antisemitic, homophobic, sexist, xenophobic, capitalistic exploiters. Thus violence, even homicide, are justifiable ends to prevent another Holocaust. This high school student looks on herself as a junior Claus von Stauffenberg, doing what must be done to further the cause of humanity,
That this demonization of a specific class of their fellow citizens is exactly the tactic used by the Nazis themselves, the Bolsheviks before them, and the Islamists of today, sails completely over the SJW’s heads. In their minds they are using intolerance to stamp out intolerance. They are fighting the war to end all wars. And you’d better not disagree.
The Golden Age of America that some want to recreate, never really existed, and happened only because the rest of the world was destroyed by WW2.
So now we have to undo the civil Rights, human rights, voting rights, etc from the 60s and repeal all the environmental and land management policies from the 70s.
Love it. Actions finally have consequences.
Somebody should have clocked her to make their own political statement.
This belief, held by half the country, is dead wrong. And the media only fans this dead wrong opinion. Imagine if half the country believed Elvis was alive and living in an existing hut under a freeway. WOULDNT SOMEONE IN THE MEDIA INVESTIGATE OR EXPLAIN HOW IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO THE YEARS PASSED?
Half of the people believe Donald Trump is a hateful racist, on false basis.
The media never uses simple logic to show how this is patently false. They want people to believe the lie. How can we stand for this? It is as if they report the following, daily: “People rioted today, destroying property, because no one is letting poor Elvis Presley out of his locked hut. Once the King of Rock and Roll, and now trapped against his will in a 500 square foot hut under the 5 freeway...”
Donald Trump has spoken against ILLEGAL ALIENS in this country. He has spoken against Muslim terrorists disguised as immigrants. No race is ever mentioned. There is zero evidence Trump is racist. No one corrects HALF THE COUNTRY on this. We don’t have much of a free nation, do we?
You just KNEW she’s be some fugly bull, and she didn’t disappoint.
And a muddle-headed SCOTUS approved the right of high-school kiddies to make political statements in class back during the Vietnam War.
So here we are looking at a Free Speech vs. Property Rights battle that will likely tie-up the entire Federal court system for the next thirteen years.
I bet she wouldn’t have any problem with someone wearing a Che t-shirt or a F***k Trump hat.
Sad...This immature girl has a long hard life ahead of her if she doesn’t change her ways, her ugly is on the inside.
No. It's not. And you are the hateful one.
Excellent point!
They don't need "correction." This is something they, for any number of reasons, chose. The media barrage is just another version of the cell leader that keeps his suicide bombers from thinking about it too much.
The fact that you and I DID NOT choose the lie stands as a witness against them.
There are going to be many, many surprised activists when they find they've worn out the "never hit a girl" taboos.
Skip that bit and charge her with the “slapping the teacher” bit.
That's an offense that does not depend on dress codes of political statements. :^)
Ugly, foul-mouthed, and stupid.
I'm toying with the idea of getting a MAGA hat just so I can trigger some moron(s). Make them show their true colors. They would likely get a response that is not what they expected...depending on how much "passion" they decide to put into any attempt to remove it from my head.
I’ll bet she/he just goes by Jo..
The Golden Age of America that some want to recreate, never really existed, and happened only because the rest of the world was destroyed by WW2.
