NEWTON FALLS, Ohio -

Two students at Newton Falls Junior High say they were removed from class by a teacher and received an in school suspension after displaying materials in support of Donald Trump.

Now after pressure from parents and a local attorney, Newton Falls School Board members say they will investigate the matter.

21 News talked to Shayne Battison. He is one of several 8th grade students at Newton Falls Junior High who say they felt bullied by the science teacher the day after the election.

...I had a Trump like sticker on my notebook and she said that we weren't allowed to have anything about Trump and she ripped it off and she said if she hears his name we'll be kicked out of her class...

...8th grader Ian King says he was wearing a Trump t-shirt and the same teacher allegedly told him he could not wear it in her classroom. She told me to go to the bathroom and like turn my t-shirt inside out and I said no and she made me stand in the hallway....

There is a beautiful old mill in Newton Falls. The science teacher could have been teaching about Archimedes or something useful.

Agreed!

Alas, the Teacher’s Union will support her all the way to the drugstore so she can get a refill of her Prozac and return to skool to continue the indoctrination of the chillins.

Sounds like a lot of lefties just couldn’t stand having it rubbed in.

Would they have been this deferential had Hillary pulled it off? Fat chance.

Man, this is getting hysterically stupid.

Remember everyone, when Trump is sworn in, go to your local schools and their districts and make sure President Trumps portrait is proudly displayed!

Every city and county office in LA had Obama's mug everywhere. Lets be all inclusive!☺

From the article there may need to be a broader investigation of TDS-induced activity from Superintendent Paul Woodard on down.

>>make sure President Trumps portrait is proudly displayed<<

Hey that’s right! His photo will be on every school wall and government building in the land!

I may buy stock in one of the anti-depressant drug manufactures.

Nooooo! Don’t mention The New President!

A fellow that America ought to be proud of. Instead, at least half of America won’t give him the time of day.

Local teacher here in Central IN took down his classrooms American flag the day after the election because he was upset with the results.

This was in a county that voted 74% for Trump.

After a trip to the woodshed with a long lesson on where HIS right of free speech begins and ends, and an apology to the administration and his class, they did let him continue teaching.

Most people were calling for his head.

TDS? Please enlighten me on that acronym. ...

It’s a small town (less than 5,000) full of crony-ism. I’m guessing he was easily elected because his great-grandpa ran the country store 100 years ago. True qualifications = zero.
