Middle school student attacked on bus for wearing 'Make America Great Again' hat [and suspended]
WGCL ^ | 2/3/17

A group of middle school students from the Parkway School District got into a fight on a school bus when they started arguing with one student who was wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.

"As a parent it's so upsetting," said Christina Cortina, the mother of the 12-year old who was wearing the Trump hat, and who was suspended.

"I feel like my son was made an example of, it was a tricky situation, it was politically charged."

In cell phone video of the incident sent to News 4, the students are heard arguing over President Trump's proposed Mexican border wall. The situation quickly escalates to pushing and what looks likes some punches thrown.

A Parkway District spokesperson says the incident was investigated and all the students involved have faced "consequences."

The spokesperson adds the district is also working to sit the students down and reach an peaceful understanding.

I wore my “Deplorable” ball cap to work tonight. Eight years of Obama pictured on tee shirts from the BLM bunch affords me the right. They can’t say anything.

This is very wrong, unfair and unAmerican, but were I the parent, I would not be sending my child to school wearing such a hat. The way society is twisted today, the boy becomes a moving target. We know this is what happens. We know most schools will allow if not outright encourage such savagery and racism.

You can always talk to your child at home to instill proper values, teach critical thinking. However, while out in today’s world, you have to consider what you put on display, fair or not fair. Now, if the kid was a high school sophomore, and a Brown Belt in Karate, well, maybe let him wear what he wants to wear. He is better prepared to deal with the dumb and the violent people in his Homeroom.

More like Mao’s “Cultural Revolution” rather than Nazi Germany.
