A group of teachers at a New Jersey high school sparked outrage by wearing Gulf of America T-shirts to class — in what some have called an attempt to bully Latino students in the majority Hispanic school.

Donned by a small cluster of Belleville High School teachers on a recent dress-down day, the shirts are a reference to President Trump’s executive order declaring the Gulf of Mexico should instead be called the Gulf of America, NJ.com reported.

But the overt political statement has others crying foul in the suburban township of about 35,000 perched 15 miles west of Manhattan.

“Our student body has been suffering, crying, coming into school, emails from kids saying their parents are not letting come back for fear that they get picked up by ICE raids,” one Belleville teacher wrote in a social media post.

"suffering, crying" over a damn shirt that says "Gulf of America"??? Sounds more the woke community than the "Hispanic community" to me.

ever notice how every news story talks about crying?

I’ve seen a lot of adults crying on Youtube after the election, and that was actually rather funny.

This is unacceptable not because of the message but because it is unprofessional. Teachers should be wearing suits for the men and proper dresses for the women.

No one was allowed to complain when teachers were wearing LGBT-alphabet and rainbow shirts, or che shirts, or commie paraphanelia, or what ever the liberal slogan of the day was. A group on the other side finally stands up and they break down in hysterics.

Not even a full 2 weeks yet....my cup runneth over with liberal tears LOL
