Court Filing: Leftist Wisconsin AG’s Probe Of Mayor Is A ‘Fishing Expedition’
As The Federalist first reported, investigators raided Mayor Doug Diny's home while his wife and 18-month-old grandson were present.
A furious Southern California high school teacher who freaked out in a classroom over a student wearing a hat in support of President-elect Donald Trump has been placed on leave.
The Chino Valley Unified School District placed the English teacher on leave after a recording of his rant surfaced, KCAL-TV reported Wednesday.
'The district policy is that you are not allowed to wear hats in class, and it is required of a student to remove them in class. The student refused to do so.'
KTTV-TV said the outbursts from the "popular teacher" at Chino High School came the day after last week's presidential election.
Corey DeAngelis, senior fellow at the American Culture Project, posted snippets of the teacher's outbursts on X.
"A child molester, huh?" the teacher said on one video clip. "Vote for that freaking rapist. ... I'm sorry, guys. I'm sorry. I have a daughter, I have three nieces, and he'd rape them, and people are voting for him. Christians are voting for him. Bunch of losers. Fake Christians."
The teacher said in another clip, "I'm pissed, people voting for a freaking rapist, and I'm pissed off" before adding, "I don't care, fire the hell out of me. I'm fighting for my daughter, my nieces, their rights."
The teacher is heard in another clip hollering to "turn it off and ... go back to your freaking seat now! Go!" Immediately afterward, the teacher is heard speaking — presumably on a phone or intercom, "Can you send security up, please? ... I have a boy who has a Trump hat on, and I'm not gonna tolerate it today, bye bye."
In that same clip, the teacher then appears to speak to a student: "I don't care if you have a Harris hat or a Trump hat, you're outta here. You know better. Tell [Principal John] Miller, 'I should have the right to vote for a rapist and a child molester,' go for it, go for it. I don't give a F!"
'This has made a lot of students very sad because it makes the school look bad. Because it makes it look like we have crazy teachers here when we don't.'
In another clip — in which he seems to be out of breath — the teacher snaps at another student, "Excuse me! What's wrong with me?" When the student appears to ask what the other student's hat said, the teacher replies, "Trump. The rapist. Even Trumpers don't deny it; they just vote for him ... gonna get rid of 20 million immigrants. ... You know who should get out? You know who owns this land? ... Native Americans."
KCAL said dozens of Chino High School students left their classrooms Wednesday during their second and third periods to support their teacher, whom they hadn't seen since the incident.
"The district policy is that you are not allowed to wear hats in class, and it is required of a student to remove them in class," one of the protesting students, Bridget Moore, told KCAL. "The student refused to do so."
KCAL said the school district confirmed that hats aren't permitted in classrooms.
However, Chino Valley Unified School District board president Sonja Shaw told KTTV previously that while the school has a dress code, it refers to indecent exposure and hate language — and that a Trump hat "is not out of code."
"We had many students wearing T-shirts supporting both sides of the political debate in several schools without issue," Shaw added to KTTV.
KCAL added that hundreds of students signed an online petition in support of the teacher in question, saying the recordings of his meltdown don't show what led up to it.
"He deserves to know everybody cares about him and shouldn't lose his job over something a student caused," another protesting student Katrina Munoz told KCAL.
The students who took part in the walkout were marked not present for class, KCAL added.
"This has made a lot of students very sad because it makes the school look bad," Moore also told KCAL. "Because it makes it look like we have crazy teachers here when we don't."

With the Chino High School teacher getting placed on leave, that means all of the anti-Trump teachers Blaze News has covered this week — so far, at least — have seen their meltdowns ending badly.
Indeed, a Connecticut special-education teacher who threatened Trump voters in a viral video has resigned. Annie Dunleavy of Chapman Elementary School in Cheshire spoke in person with WTNH-TV in the aftermath, tearfully at times trying to explain herself.
Also, a teacher at a different Southern California public high school who went on a profane rant in his Advanced Placement world history class against Trump the day after the election was placed on administrative leave.

A group of parents accused teachers within Texas' Spring Independent School District of giving their preschool-age children "sleepy stickers" — apparently body-worn patches that release melatonin and other substances.
Lisa Luviano told WKRC-TV her daughter first brought the sleep patches to her attention last month.
'We did say we wanted to file criminal charges if this is something that is true.'
"The sticker makes me fall asleep," four-year-old Layne reportedly told Luviano.
Luviano told the news outlet that her daughter arrived home from school one day and showed her parents the patch, which she was still wearing at the time.
"She kind of pulled up her little shorts and said, 'Mom, look, this is my sleeping sticker.' And I was like, the what?" Luviano said.
The concerned mother told KTRK-TV that her girl said her teacher gave her the stickers "for sleeping time."
Layne's father, Joseph, stated that he suspected something was wrong when his daughter was not falling asleep at night.
He told WKRC, "Two o'clock in the morning, I hear some noise in the room, and I go over there, and she's still up."
The day after Layne came home and showed her parents the patch, Lisa went to the school and filed a report.
"We did say we wanted to file criminal charges if this is something that is true," Lisa told KTRK.
Lisa also took a photograph of the purple and blue sleep patch — which includes illustrations of a moon, clouds, and stars — and sent the image to other parents in Layne's class.
Melissa Gilford, whose child attends the same school as Layne, stated that her daughter recognized the patch from Luviano's photo.
"I showed it to my 4-year-old, and she said, 'Yes, that's the sleepy sticker,'" Gilford told WKRC.
After researching the patch online, Gilford discovered that it contains melatonin and other substances she was unfamiliar with.
Najala Abdullah, another parent, explained that her 4-year-old son also received the stickers while in class.
Abdullah said, "They're giving them drugs to make them sleep, to keep them quiet."
She noted that her son recently stopped eating and was returning home from school with untouched lunches.
"Every night, my son will come home. He's staying up. He's not sleeping," she told KTRK.
Abdullah also filed a report with the school as well as Child Protective Services.
Spring ISD issued a Tuesday statement to KTRK saying two of its teachers were placed on leave as police investigated the matter.
"Spring ISD is aware of allegations that two staff members at Northgate Crossing Elementary School allegedly administered sleeping supplements to students on Sept. 24. These staff members were immediately removed from the classroom and placed on administrative leave pending an ongoing investigation by the Spring ISD Police Department. The district takes every allegation of educator misconduct seriously and will take all necessary measures to ensure that our students are educated in a safe and nurturing environment," the district stated.

Last December a Spring ISD staff member was placed on administrative leave after allegedly giving melatonin gummies to students.
Melatonin, which is sold as an over-the-counter nutritional supplement, is not regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
According to Children's Health, there are no extensive studies on the appropriate dosage for children. However, Michelle Caraballo, M.D., a Pediatric Pulmonologist and Sleep Medicine Specialist at Children's Health and Assistant Professor at UT Southwestern, recommends one to three milligrams for toddlers and preschool-age children.
The Sleep Foundation recommends just one to two milligrams for children around 5 years old and up to three for children 6 to 12.
