There are tens of thousands of amazing teachers across the country who have the best of intentions to teach their students no matter their religion, race, ethnicity or political ideology.

And then there are teachers like Brendan Stanton, a P.G. Keithley Middle School teacher in Tacoma, Washington, who is getting quite a bit of attention after booting one of his students from a digital classroom after the student, a 10-year-old, wrote about his support for President Donald Trump after the teacher asked the students who they admire.

While the teacher first attempted to change the story when confronted by the student’s mother, he was then told that she recorded part of his outburst. Busted.

Middle school teacher rips student for naming President Trump as person he admires

A Tacoma, Washington middle school teacher took great offense when one of his students named President Trump as a person he admires.

The thing is, Perry G. Keithley Middle School sixth grade teacher Brendan Stanton (below) asked his virtual class this very question — “who is the one person you admire and why?”
...
The boy’s mother, Elsy Kusander, entered the room to hear Stanton “berating the president” so she began recording what was being said on her phone.

Stanton was so angry, apparently, he would not even say Trump’s name.
...
When Kusander contacted Stanton to discuss the matter, she didn’t immediately make him aware she had made a recording. Stanton claimed using President Trump wasn’t an appropriate answer because the question before the class was about “a computer programmer they admired” (Stanton teaches technology education). Students could name “someone from the community” if they couldn’t think of a programmer.

Although Keithley Middle School online classes typically “are recorded and posted to the online portal for students and their parents,” Stanton claimed he deleted the “admired person” question due to student privacy concerns. He also pointed out Kusander’s son’s answer offended another student in the class, not him.

“I do try to keep politics out of the classroom… because students have different opinions, right?” Stanton told Kusander.

Kusander then revealed she had witnessed what transpired:

This being in the Seattle area and in Washington, I doubt Stanton will face meaningful consequences. OTOH, that family would probably be wise to get their son out of that school, preferably to a ptivate school, or homeschool him.
