We're not even a full month into President Trump’s term as president, and things are already getting out of hand.

We've just seen the anti-free speech crazies torch UC Berkley. Now, kids in middle school are beating up other kids who support Trump. I kid you not. You know it’s a sad day when you see something like this. 

Twelve-year old Gavin Cortina, a middle school student in St. Louis, was attacked while riding the school bus, all for wearing a red “Make America Great Again” hat. The incident was filmed by a third student on a cell phone, which shows one of the assaulters shoving Cortina against the bus window and yelling, “Do you want to build a wall? Do you want to build a f***ing wall?” 

The Parkway School District in Chesterfield, Mo., said in a statement:

On Wednesday, February 1, three students got into an argument on an after-school activity bus at Parkway West Middle School over a hat worn by one of the students. Two of the students got into a physical altercation with both students striking each other in the face. The third student videotaped a portion of the incident, verbally escalated the confrontation and posted it online. The entire incident was captured on internal video cameras on the school bus, which was used by the school to conduct a full investigation and gather all the facts.

As a result, all three students have received suspensions in accordance with Parkway’s student discipline policy. Upon completion of suspensions, the three students will participate in a restorative mediation process to help learn to resolve their differences in a peaceful and respectful manner.

We regret that this incident occurred as it does not reflect the positive character we expect from our students. We will continue to work together with students, staff and families to ensure all students learn to treat each other with dignity and respect.

The school district then actually had the nerve to suspend Parker along with his attackers.
