The video shows the students denying that any bullying happened.

Young conservatives got a good lesson in suppression of free speech by brown shirts in Thuggery 101.
My guess is they will be conservatives for life now.

If they were acting racist, why didn’t these allegedly concerned school administrators do anything about it?

These allegations about the Latino comments reeks like a 3 day old homicide scene. Someone is trying to cover their azz.

My kids knew better than to dish out any kind of mistreatment to others.. But in today’s world, the parents are the reason the kids are mean to others.

We are a sports family and there is nothing like parents at a game ... totally off their rockers... there is no civil dialogue any more.. it gets heated quick. there is no control over mouth nor attitude...

I have friends that teach at this school. According to them, this is what happened.

-Kids paid $1 to wear a hat as a donation to FFA

-All hats were checked for appropriateness upon entry. Kids were nit allowed to have hats that advertised drugs, alcohol, violence At that point there were no MAGA hats

-MAGA hats appeared later

- Some 8th graders began taunting Hispanic children with various statements of “gonna get deported.” And at one point a brief chant in the hallway of “send them back.”

-Students said they were uncomfortable with the MAGA hats and with being told they were going to be deported. One student pointed out he was born at Fairfax Hospital and was American.

-Students were requested face to face by administration to remove MAGA hats.

-Students told administrators NO directly to their face

-Students sent to office.

-Students began texting parents complaining that they were being asked to remove hats

-Parents showed up at school. Several parents, including two men, surrounded the principal and began screaming at her in full view of the students, one made vague threats of violence This happened at class change and was seen by dozens of students

-Principal got on speaker and cancelled hat day

-Some parents removed their kids for the rest of the day

- Facebook happened

The hats were not the problem, the statements were. I understand there were issues earlier in the year with “Build the wall” shirts and taunting of Hispanic children, so perhaps this could have been foreseen. But it appears the kids came in with one hat and switched out.

Wearing the hats was nit the issue as much as the taunts and chants. HIGHLY inappropriate and the administration has the right and responsibility to have a safe environment for everyone.

Students were told they could have their dollar back, and about a dozen did ask for it back and received it.

My friend that heard the chant and rushed out of her room with her phone hoping to record, but they only said it 2x and she wasn’t there in time.

Seems kids have their cell phone on 24/7, so I’m a little surprised someone didn’t record.

None of that makes sense. I’ll bet there is more to the story.

I have seen school admins. lie to cover up their abuse of students plenty of times. They should have interviewed Hispanic students to see if the school was lying. You know they were lying because “no one got into trouble”...if white kids told Hispanic children to leave the Nation, they would have been punished. That proves their lie.
