Back to this thread though you know there have been assaults all over the country on Trump supporters. In the primary when an anti Trump protestor was assaulted at a Trump rally I took the side of the protestor that nobody should be assaulted because of their political views. The same goes here. A kid should be able to wear a hat and not get assaulted over it. I would take the same stand if it was a kid who was assaulted for wearing an Obama hat.

"I have friends for over 35 years who live near the Parkway School District in western St. Louis County. They were big Trump supporters but had problems with putting Trump signs on their lawn - stolen, graffiti anf shredded.
Perhaps this mother didn't have a similar experience, but my friends who have a son that has an ADHD made certain he never wore Trump paraphernalia for his safety.
If I heard the voices correctly in the background, it was Trump's plans to build a wall at our southern border.
If this was a private school, maybe I would let my child wear such a hat. But not in any public school where those in charge including teachers are most likely supporting the kids that attack this young man.
Sadly, this is the new America where democracy in America is failing. I have never seen an America more divided like today.

I don't think any of us who have participated in this thread have said anything to the contrary. No one should have their right to free expression stifled by violence if they are exercising it peacefully. If anything, this story should be more of an indictment on zero tolerance policies that schools have in place, where people who are defending themselves are suspended along with their assailant, as was in this case.
However, as was pointed out by myself and others on here, this is not how this incident is being portrayed by right-leaning news outlets such as Fox and the Right scoop. They are framing this as a narrative of how a student not only got beaten for wearing a Trump hat, but was suspended for it also; and whether unwittingly or not, this is also how you portrayed your argument as well - the fact that you decided to title your thread "WATCH: Middle school kid gets beat up on the bus, then SUSPENDED for wearing Trump hat" demonstrates that rather succinctly.
And, if you thoroughly investigated this story through "multiple varied" sources before you made your thread, as you have claimed, then how did you miss the link to the original local news story that said very plainly that all three were suspended for fighting? It seems as if Chris and myself didn't seem to have much trouble finding it, so I assume that you too came across this source in your exhaustive perusing of the topic. Did you just decide to ignore it in favor of the more brief synopses from Fox and the Right Scoop?

"Itās bad enough the kid was beat up for wearing the famous Trump hat. But to be suspended on top of that just seems wrong.
Sometimes I just have to wonder what has become of our country, where a kid canāt even wear a political hat to school without getting beat up by other kids. It just shows how Godless our nation has become."

Yeah, because all of us posters on here who are left leaning has said just exactly that.
Just go ahead and keep on running with that narrative, Forrest:

Yeah u dont have all the facts mate, it was an argument he freely participated in. He was "not" attacked simply for wearing the hat. But you see how the fox presenter said "and guess who got suspended" implying the orher kids didnt. No more complaining about cnn out of u. If ur willing to swallow that load of bs why i should i listen to u when u complain about the msm?
I have enough of the facts. If he wasn't wearing a Trump hat then why was he attacked then? And after being attacked why should he get suspended for defending himself? Who instigated the fight? A kid should be able to wear a Trump hat or for that matter an Obama hat and not get assaulted over it.
I have enough of the facts.
And here we see the root of the problem

Terrible policy - so if a kid is getting bullied he has to either take it or if he does fight back he gets the same punishment as the bully.

Again not just the Right Scoop and Fox, there were a number of others I found on google and I will say it again The Right Scoop are bloggers who were Never Trumpers.

Jblew, you and cleve and os are like the kids who beat up on a smaller
kid for wearing a Trump hat and somehow it isn't fair that news reports
vary on what students got suspended. You are like Cleve and Woody, you add
nothing to the board but smartass garbage and you are "victims" when it
comes back around to bite you in your stupid, infantile asses...
That kid never started the violence, THEY DID.

Nitpicking. The main point is a kid got assaulted on a school bus for wearing a Trump hat. That should not be acceptable nor should it be acceptable that a kid defending himself should get the same punishment as the bully. There are lots of points to the story and maybe the headline wasn't quite correct but don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

Terrible policy - so if a kid is getting bullied he has to either take it or if he does fight back he gets the same punishment as the bully. Yes, that is the gist of a zero tolerance policy. When I was in high school - who also had a zero tolerance policy, I myself got suspended in a similar situation defending myself. Is this a wise and fair policy? No, but that is the one that particular school district has, and that is why all three were suspended. Perhaps this whole topic would be less inflamed if FoxNews and TRS would have mentioned that too in their stories, but, for reasons unknown to us, they must've missed it.

Breitbart: School Suspends 12-Year-Old Boy Attacked on Bus for Wearing a āMake America Great Againā Hat
They are framing this as a narrative of how a student not only got beaten for wearing a Trump hat, but was suspended for it also; and whether unwittingly or not, this is also how you portrayed your argument as well - the fact that you decided to title your thread "WATCH: Middle school kid gets beat up on the bus, then SUSPENDED for wearing Trump hat" demonstrates that rather succinctly. The title of the thread was from the article and I would have titled it myself "Student gets assaulted for wearing a Trump hat and gets suspended for defending himself along with those who assaulted him" So why didn't you, then? Your statement here implies that you knew they were suspended for fighting, but still chose to advance the narrative of him getting suspended for wearing a MAGA hat. What does that help to accomplish, in the end?
And, if you thoroughly investigated this story through "multiple varied" sources before you made your thread, as you have claimed, then how did you miss the link to the original local news story that said very plainly that all three were suspended for fighting? Missed it - it happens. Fair enough. It seems as if Chris and myself didn't seem to have much trouble finding it, so I assume that you too came across this source in your exhaustive perusing of the topic. Did you just decide to ignore it in favor of the more brief synopses from Fox and the Right Scoop (and others on google search)? So, you're not exactly denying it, are you?

What's the beef here? The school suspended the 12 year old who was attacked on a bus for wearing a MAGA hat? What other reason was he attacked for? He was suspended, that is true also.

...That kid never started the violence, THEY DID. - As I said to OBF, I don't believe that anyone participating in this thread, including myself, has stated otherwise.
... THAT is the point. And, as usual, it gets lost in the misdirection of bitching
about who got suspended etc etc. - Oh, so you mean misdirection like how the right-leaning news outlets are portraying it as how the kid got beat up AND suspended simply for wearing a MAGA hat? With no mention of everyone involved getting suspended due to the zero tolerance policy? Hmm...

Except that the school didn't suspend him for wearing the hat. He was suspended for fighting, along with those who attacked him. That is the point. Do you not understand the concept of a "zero-tolerance" policy? And do you not see how the above mentioned article title could lead rubes such as yourself into falsely believing that the student got suspended simply for wearing a MAGA hat?

Breitbart: School Suspends 12-Year-Old Boy Attacked on Bus for Wearing a āMake America Great Againā
OK lets take it point by point and nit pick it because you don't like the source. Every part of of that headline is true. Does the headline here say he was suspended for wearing a MAGA hat? No it doesn't. Was he attacked for wearing a MAGA hat? Yes that was the reason.
I see two points they are making in this headline. The school suspended the 12 year old and he was the one attacked for wearing a MAGA hat.
