A NJ teacher from Wall Township School District said her principal and superintendent should be fired after she was ordered to censor a Trump T-shirt a student was wearing in the 2017 yearbook and was later blamed for the controversy itself, NJ Advance media reported.
Censorship of the Trump shirt generated national headlines in June 2017 and fueled conservative outrage, especially in Wall, where Trump carried a large majority of the vote. The school district admitted the photo was censored but quickly shifted the blame to Susan Parsons, a media teacher who was the yearbook advisor.
“If you have any teacher that lied, withheld evidence, conspired to hide the truth… they wouldn’t have a job,” Parsons said. “How is it that this isn’t applied to administration as well, she said in a recent interview with NJ media. A tenured teacher, she continues working at Wall Township High School making $92,000 but says students and colleagues have never treated her the same, NJ.com explained. She was suspended after the incident and forced to resign from being the yearbook adviser as the result of the scandal which she alleges was not her idea.
Superintendent Cheryl Dyer at the time claimed the school administration had nothing to do with the censorship in the yearbook at the time.
Parsons, who voted for Trump is now harassed by hard core Trump loyalists who still believe she was the decision maker in this controversy.
Parsons’ lawsuit against Dyer and the Wall Township Board of Education is seeking damages for a pay increase that was withheld, emotional harm and other damages. In addition, she’s asking for a policy that prohibits employees from doing interviews without the superintendent’s permission to be eliminated, NJ.com reported.
School board attorney Adam Weiss said the district won’t engage in a public debate over the yearbook controversy and will defend itself in court, in a recent statement.
Since Trump has become president many Democrats and hard leftists have done far worse than censoring a Trump for president T-shirt in a yearbook. There have been literally thousands of attacks on Trump supporters in America and even in other nations.
Some of the more recent attacks include an 81-year-old man being attacked at a supermarket in NJ. In the UK anyone who shows support for the US president is being pelted in the face by radial leftists with milkshakes. A man was assaulted at a Trump support event in Los Angeles, a Jewish student in Arizona claims she was forced into hiding after admitting she voted for Trump and an elderly man in UK was pushed to the ground violently over his Trump support. There are literally thousands of these incidents. Let’s not forget the Jussie Smollett incident where the TV actor blamed men in “MAGA” hats for a fictional assault.
“From censoring his name to literally attacking people who support Trump, the tensions are high, and the radical left will continue to become more unhinged as we get closer to elections”, political analyst Jared Evan told The Jewish Voice.
