As I said in my last post, these anti-MAGA attacks are reaching epidemic proportions.
This is the third post today we’ve done about such attacks. And two of them happened this week!
Watch:
A Trump supporting student at Edmond Santa Fe High School had his MAGA flag ripped off of him by another student.

These malicious attacks must be dealt with.

According to the Daily Caller, this happened yesterday in Santa Fe, Texas:
A Trump-supporting student at Santa Fe High School in Santa Fe, Texas appeared to have his “Make America Great Again” (MAGA) apparel ripped off.
The student was wearing a MAGA hat on his head and a Trump-themed flag as a cape. The boy appears to get in an altercation with another student who appears to knock the hat off of his head and yell a racial slur at him.
According to a report from the The Edmond Sun, 18-year-old Kenneth Dewayne Jones “is named on the municipal court summons on an offense of assault and battery.”
The Sun also reports that the alleged victim in this case is underage. Jones has not been charged, and the students are headed toward a mediation process.
The slur comes at the end of the video after the thuggish dude flicks the hat off and rips the flag off and throws it on the ground.
I bet this moron felt like a big man, but he looked and acted like a thug.
Here’s the statement from the school, via The Edmond Sun:
School spokeswoman Susan Parks Schlepp said Edmond Public Schools has observed the video. The district refused to release the name of the adult student.
“On the 25th, students were allowed to contribute a dollar to the fundraising cause in exchange for a pass to wear headgear to school, which is typically not allowed in school facilities during the school day,” Schlepp said.
“In the video, a student is seen confronting a classmate who is wearing a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat and carrying a ‘Trump’ flag. The student then proceeds to grab the flag and knock the hat off of his classmate’s head.
“Given that hats were allowed at school yesterday as part of the week-long fundraising events, there was no specific dress code violation. The student’s choice to grab a classmate’s property and knock his hat off did, however, violate the school’s discipline policy. In response, Edmond Santa Fe High School administrators, working simultaneously with Edmond Police, addressed the incident with swift and immediate disciplinary action. The school district honors students’ First Amendment rights, but must at the same time be vigilant in teaching and supporting students as they learn how best to respectfully express their opinions.”
A police report was not available Tuesday morning, but police continue investigating the incident.
I hope that means the suspended him for a few days or more. An example needs to be set that this kind of behavior won’t be tolerated.
