Arizona: Parents, students protest after high school bans MAGA hats, banners on ‘USA Day’

Washington Examiner: GILBERT, Ariz. — A group of parents are protesting after they say a suburban Phoenix school unfairly disciplined students for their political views.

Around 40 people, including a few students, gathered Monday morning across the street from Perry High School in Gilbert with signs and flags saying “Make America Great Again” and other messages supportive of President Donald Trump.

The parents say their children were told to remove “MAGA” attire and banners last Friday for “USA Day” at school.

In an email to parents, Principal Dan Serrano says students were only asked to put away signage because it was causing a disruption.

When it occurred after school, a school resource officer asked the students to leave and they didn’t comply.

One parent says her child was told the “MAGA” clothing was “offensive.”

  1. They need to bring along an insider with a contrasting view to show the hypocrisy. A friend needs to show up decked out in Obama attire. Watch the differences in treatment.

    I’m dealing with a referendum taking place in my kid’s school district. The goddamn commies want $204 MILLION across 2 schools in order to build pools and wheelchair ramps for the cripple even though there are no wheelchair students on campus. They send their kids to school with “Vote YES” shirts. My son wanted a Vote NO shirt, and he got it. He was berated all day long. We JUST voted NO in November and the board cried about it for months and now we have to vote AGAIN on April 2nd. They reduced the amount by 15 million, with hopes of gaining 35 million in the near future (on ANOTHER referendum) to expand a pool after rebuilding a pool if the referendum passes. “Oh,” they say, “it’s only $67 per $100,000 of home value.” Yea, for the next 20 YEARS on top of the $435 per $100k they already get. They have canceled all sports at the school, holding everyone hostage, until it passes. Sorry for the rant, I fucking hate schools; even more now than when I was a student.

  2. ecp- back in SoCAL, there were schools in the Inland Empire who were lacking AC (busted down, broken, not replaced) and the kids were sweating into little puddles. So a few of the kids’ parents volunteered and donated/installed AC for one particular school. All the school had to do was maintain them.
    Well, the district sent in some assholes to remove the ACs, because NON UNION installed them. Apparently the county had the money to send UNION in to remove the ACs but not install them.
    They gave the AC’s back to the companies who donated them.

  3. I’m gunna make me a sign that says PROUD NON-UNION HOME. The signs people hang outside their house, “vote yes” and “proud union home” every time I think to myself, “Gee, they want the whole world to know they have no concept of money and are complete idiots.” My next door neighbor is a union prick and he loves to tell everyone about it. It’s the most run-down piece of shit house in the entire neighborhood, and I’ve got the pleasure of living next to it. Called the city many times on him for violations and they’ve never cited him (I’ve got issues with the progressive city board too). Fucker called the cops on me too, on false allegations (I was harassing his daughter??) because he was mad at me for telling him he keeps his property like a literal dump. I believe the cops gave him a stern warning about false reports, as he has been avoiding me ever since.

  4. Asymmetric: one person can anonymously phone the school about being offended by a hat and the school bans the hats. But if a hundred parents are offended by this ban, the school doesn’t even acknowledge them.

  5. They couldn’t allow a Make America Great Day in a US public high school, because it might run afoul of Fuck White People Day or Ram A Big Black Dildo Up Your Ass Day or Bow Your Infidel Head Towards Mecca Day or some similarly wholesome, democrat approved cause.

    democrats = Total Shitbags

  6. This happened in an area that is a least +15 for Trump. And yet the principal acts as if the kids are part of an extreme minority … and get away with it, natch

  7. @MJA (at 8:30 pm): Sorry – if it was posted here before, I musta missed it. It just turned up on a couple of other sites yesterday, so I figured it had to be new.

    Signage doesn’t cause a disruption. Angry brainwashed little leftist NPC’s cause a disruption. Leftists love to blame the victims of leftist aggression.

    I’m sick of it. We need a war.
