School Suspends 12-Year-Old Boy Attacked on Bus for Wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ Hat

A 12-year-old boy in Missouri was attacked on a school bus by his peers for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat—and was suspended from school as a result. A cellphone video of the incident shows Gavin Cortina of St. Louis being bullied physically and verbally by his peers for expressing his political beliefs on a hat Wednesday, the Daily Mail reports. “You want to build a wall?” one student yells in the clip. “You want to build a f—king wall?” Things escalated quickly after that, according to Gavin. “At one point, he just got so frustrated he pushed me,” the sixth-grader told KMOV. “And then he kept hitting me and backing me up by the window of the bus, and so I just had to push him out.” Even though Gavin was the one being attacked, the Parkway School District suspended him. His mother, Christina, is outraged at the school and is concerned about what will happen if he wears the hat again. “As a parent it’s so unsettling,” she said. “I feel like my son was made an example of, it was a tricky situation—it was politically charged.” A spokesperson for the Parkway School District said they investigated the fight and that all students involved have faced “consequences.” At least one student was suspended, according to KMOV. The district sent out notices to parents with suggestions on how to talk about the election results with their children after Trump’s victory in November, the New York Daily News reports. The spokesperson added that administrators will sit the students down and reach a peaceful understanding about the incident and their political differences.

I've been saying it for 20 years. I don't know why people won't listen to me.

I'll say it again, though. It's time to pull your kids out of the government school system and homeschool them or send them to a private school.

Okay. Commence with the excuses.

You are correct. They created the “education” degree to get real dummies in charge of children and get rid of the cream of the crop, so dummies, “teach” your children. No excellence in elementary and high schools any more. Dewey took out Objective Truth (God) so they could force the moral relative worldview (satanism/Marxism) on children and eliminate the Christian one—and eliminate Reason and Logic-—so pure ignorant “group” emotions (feminism) will rule reason. Being “liked” by the “group” takes precedent to all things-—Fear of Man is embedded.

The State wants dumb, ignorant slaves who are only capable of following orders—programmed “bots” for life. That is what Common Core and the Neo-Marxist, Neo-Freudian curricula is designed to create. It is outcome based “education” which is just pscyhological subversion which destroys the wisdom and reason in children and they will be incapable of reason and logic because they didn’t have Classical Christian curricula which is the only one which creates critical thinkers and abstract thinking and AGENCY.

All other curricula is Fichte-type cr*- which destroys the integration of the brain and fills it with cr8- and disinformation which will destroy the mind. Children will “KNOW” that snow is black when they are done being brainwashed (programmed into being a useful idiot (socialist—group-(non)-thinker).

Where is the ACLU? Oh yeah, they are too busy trying to get unvetted non-citizens into our country instead of helping our own citizens. Typical “liberals”

THE ONLY MINORITY NOT FREE TO WALK IN PUBLIC AROUND HERE IS A TRUMP SUPPORTER.

Makes me want to dress in full Trump gear and walk about in "Make MY Day" mode. Must resist the temptation...must resist the temptation...Must resist...

Condolences accepted. It’s pretty sad. I lived in Orange County last year and there was a mix of Trump and Hillary supporters out there. Here? Not so much. Taking care of elderly mom in her house so can’t go anywhere for the time being.

I’m in Orange County and I drive all over here in a Red Dodge Challenger with TRUMP 45 Vanity License Plates.

Have only been flipped off a couple of times, once by a Mexican dude near Escondido prior to the Election and just recently by a Soccer Mom in Yorba Linda.

The Plates do start up some interesting conversations. There are more Trump supporters out there than we know and I meet them every day.

I’ve lost count of the Grocery Store Parking Lot discussions. Usually start out with “I get the Trump, but what does the 45 mean?”. LOL

I’m sure I’m not, but we are all hiding in the shadows. The illegals are out there living in freedom. CONSERVATIVES are the hated ones around here.

Thanks for that! He did a wonderful job. Hard to hear but he put up the subtitles, perfect. O’Keefe should make the companion video as well. Have a woman wearing a hijab walk the exact same blocks. See how many instances of harassment she gets. IT WILL BE MUCH LESS yet a new Rasmussen poll says that Americans think Muslims have it harder in the USA than Christians do in Muslim countries. Let’s show them what a joke that is.

Thanks again for sharing, and everyone go look at how someone with a MAGA hat is treated. I am literally afraid to wear mine.
