Student Who Took Classmate’s MAGA Hat Says She Was Making Political Statement
CBS Sacramento ^ | 8/27/2018 | Steve Large

EL DORADO (CBS13) — 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.

Cellphone video shows some of the tension inside this high school classroom.

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,” Chris Butler said.

Now he’s faced with the legal impact of his daughter’s now alleged criminal act.

Your right to swing your fists ends at the tip of the other man’s nose.

So has the kid wearing the hat ever say anything that would make the environment in the classroom bad? Somehow I doubt it.

She is an unfortunate looking girl. The dad is ok looking, wonder what mom looks like!

She’s a CCW Conservative.

You did a good job then! My kids are also conservative. Not sure on the CCW, but wouldn't be surprised.

Yeah, she made her point. So will any prospective employers when they toss her application in the trash.

Antifa without the mask. Looking at her, she should always wear a mask, not only when she is performing "political assaults."

And the ‘victim’ should’ve made a ‘political statement’ with a left hook to the jaw.

That would be a bit inside of one’s personal space, in my opinion. A swing that close justifies a closer swing of a heavier magnitude.
