AMBRIDGE, Pa. – Concerns about chaotic protests led by the state teachers union at a Donald Trump rally scheduled for a school field house today forced local officials to end classes earlier than planned.
The American Federation of Teachers Pennsylvania, which has endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, is planning an anti-Trump protest across the street from the Ambridge Area High School field house today with several other groups, including National Organization for Women, Women of Steel, and congressional candidate Erin McClelland, KDKA reports.
Trump is scheduled to speak at the field house at 3:30 p.m. today, and school district officials initially planned to dismiss students about 30 minutes early at 2 p.m., but concerns from parents and local law enforcement over planned protests forced officials to reconsider, according to The Times.
