Furious teacher who freaked out in class over student wearing Trump hat gets placed on leave



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."

Students stage a walkout

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."

We have a trifecta

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.

U. Oregon official placed on leave after telling Trump voters 'go f*** yourself,' 'go jump off of a f***ing bridge'



The University of Oregon official who told voters of President-elect Donald Trump "go f*** yourself" and "go jump off of a f***ing bridge" has been placed on administrative leave, the New York Post reported.

“As a public university we take our duty seriously to provide an environment that welcomes diversity of thought and respect in alignment with our education mission,” a university spokesperson told the Post. “While we investigate, we are providing support for concerned students and employees, including resources for mental and emotional health.”

'I don't care if you are my family. I don't care if you are my friend. I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives.'

As Blaze News previously reported, student newspaper the Daily Emerald said assistant director of fraternity and sorority life Leonard Serrato posted an Instagram story after Trump handily beat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

The paper said Serrato told his followers — some of whom are Oregon students — "You can literally go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump. If you are so sad about your groceries being expensive, get a better f***ing paying job. Do better in life. Get a f***ing education. Do something, 'cause you’re f***ing stupid."

Before he made a sideways peace sign, the video rant ended with him saying, "And I hope you go jump off of a f***ing bridge."

You can view video of the rant included in the Daily Emerald's story here. A photo of Serrato was viewable Thursday on his bio page on the website of the university, which is a public college; however, access to that page was denied Friday morning.

A longer video of the rant begins with the following: "I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in. I am a very petty person, and I am very proud of that. Love it about myself, actually. And so, I say this in the most disrespectful way possible: I don't care if you are my family. I don't care if you are my friend. I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives."

The Daily Emerald said Serrato soon made his Instagram account private and declined to comment to the paper.

Previous to Serrato being placed on leave, Oregon spokesperson Eric Howald told the Daily Emerald the “university is currently collecting more information about the situation" and that for now "it appears that the individual made the post on their own time, which is well within their rights."

What else do we know about Serrato?

Serrato's LinkedIn profile indicates he's also a hazing prevention speaker. A month ago, Serrato reposted on his LinkedIn page a short item about himself from ForCollegeForLife — and the following excerpt appears to explain why he speaks against hazing:

Leo Serrato could have never imagined he’d be delivering this message.

Before August 31, 2012, his fraternity membership experience had been typical. That night, however, changed everything. One of the new members of his chapter died in an alcohol-related hazing incident. Due to his involvement, Leo was charged and sentenced to jail time, and, because of this, he made it a personal mission to work to end hazing.

He vowed to his brother he would not let his death be in vain.

A 2018 profile story in the Sonoma State Star student newspaper about Serrato — who had just become the new lead campus advisor for fraternity and sorority life at Sonoma State — noted that Serrato "was involved in a hazing related death while attending Fresno State in 2012, where one of his pledges died from excessive drinking caused by hazing."

The Star added that Serrato pleaded "no contest to a misdemeanor charge of hazing and providing alcohol to a minor causing death in 2014. According to the Press Democrat, he was sentenced to 90 days in the Fresno County Jail, 90 days in the county’s adult offender work program, three years probation, and a $220 fine."

Serrato was quoted in the story: “When I was new member educator, one of our new members passed away from a hazing related incident and it was that incident that truly inspired me and opened up my eyes to what my mission and purpose is in life and that is to educated [sic] students on hazing."

Howald on Thursday afternoon didn't immediately respond to Blaze News' request for comment asking whether the University of Oregon knew about the charges against Serrato when the school hired him.

Oregon U. official reportedly says 'go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump.' He's also a hazing prevention speaker.



A University of Oregon administrator said, "Go f*** yourself if you voted for Donald Trump," according to a campus newspaper, which included video of the rant in its story.

What's more, the school official also is a hazing prevention speaker who reportedly did jail time over a fatal fraternity hazing incident in 2012.

The Daily Emerald reported that assistant director of fraternity and sorority life Leonard Serrato posted an Instagram story after this week's presidential election in which Trump handily beat Democratic nominee Kamala Harris.

'I'm done crying. My sadness is over. My anger has set in. I am a very petty person, and I am very proud of that. Love it about myself, actually.'

I don't care if we've been friends our entire lives."

The Daily Emerald reported that Serrato later posted an Instagram Reel in which he discusses the presidential election results. The paper said he addressed students, including those of “color” and who identify as “LGBTQIA," and encouraged them to “take care of yourself and know that you have my support.”

The Daily Emerald said Serrato soon made his Instagram account private and declined to comment to the paper.

MUST-SEE: Teachers Union President Goes on UNHINGED Viral Rant

MUST-SEE: Teachers Union President Goes on UNHINGED Viral Rant

Dana White: 'This is the greatest country on earth. And we should be defending it, fighting for our freedom, every one of us.'



Dana White, the outspoken head of the Ultimate Fighting Championship, is making headlines for a pro-America rant he delivered on the “Full Send Podcast."

What are the details?

While the podcast interview posted on YouTube last week covered a variety of subjects, White turned heads when he was asked about his opinion that the younger generation coming up is weak.

White acknowledged that every generation typically believes that the one coming after it is "soft," but he was quick to add that the current generation is "next-level."

"There's no respect for the police any more, there's no respect for the military, there's no respect for our country, our freedom, our way of life that we have here," White said.

He then lit into Americans who threaten to leave the country if things don't go their way politically — and gave them a brutal reality check:

You can sit around and ... nitpick and talk about things that are wrong with the United States. Let me tell you something: I'm gonna tell f***ing your generation, my generation, everybody's generation — this is it. If this falls, there's no other f***ing place to go. So all these f***ing people that are like, 'Oh, God, if President Trump wins, I'm f***ing leaving the country.' They all say it! They all say it! Nobody f***ing does it. Where you gonna go? Nowhere. All these other f***ing places that you think are f***ing cool and you think are so f***ing great, when the s**t hits the fan, you find out who’s who and what’s what. ... Gang, this is it. So all the people ... marching and crying and protesting ... this is the greatest country on earth. And we should be defending it, fighting for our freedom, every one of us. ... Everybody’s afraid to stand up. Everybody’s afraid to be pro-American. ... Some of these other countries ... the people who live there are proud of where they come from. They carry their flag; they stand up. ... You talk about people coming over the border from Mexico for a better life in America, right? Show me a Mexican that doesn’t love his country and isn’t proud to be a Mexican. Wake up. Wake up. This is the greatest country …

White then wondered rhetorically, "So if we go to war right now, are you confident in this generation that we have right now that these guys are gonna go out and storm some beach somewhere?" He added that "there’s a small handful of people — most of them probably down around the Bible belt and down South — that’ll actually stand up and fight for this country right now. It’s scary."

AOC's epic MELTDOWN after Ilhan Omar is REMOVED from committee

Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez lost her dignity, composure, and perhaps her mind when speaking to the House of Representatives on the removal of Ilhan Omar from the Foreign Affairs Committee Thursday.

Cortez’s flamboyant and incessant hand gestures paired nicely with her apparent inability to keep her feet on the ground. One can only hope her audience took motion sickness pills.

It is speculated that Cortez lost her way to the spoken-word meetup at which she had originally intended to present, where she would be preforming her piece to an infinitely more culturally educated audience.

“Don’t tell me this is about consistency. Don’t tell me that this is about a condemnation of anti-Semitic remarks,” shouted Cortez.

Dear lord. Sorry. Dear Allah.

All generous and unassuming Americans want anti-Semites on the Foreign Affairs Committee. That is, unless they are white anti-Semites — then it’s unacceptable.

“You have a member of the Republican caucus who has talked about Jewish space lasers and an entire amount of tropes, and also elevated her to some of the highest committee assignments in this body,” Cortez seethed.

Cortez stormed off, abusing the brown, victimized stand with her journal.

Following in the brave footsteps of AOC, Rashida Tlaib continued the estrogen-fueled meltdown.

“To congressman Omar: I am so sorry, sis,” sobbed Tlaib. Very professional.

This, from the woman who can’t tell when a minute has expired, even when told repeatedly.

These truly moving performances are a testimony to the striking aptitude of the respective constituents of these courageous women of color. Their eloquence will go down in history books, paraphrased and redacted.

'We're doomed.' Watch Crowder react to TikTok dance videos



A group of Army soldiers decided to showcase their dance skills in a TikTok video.

On Tuesday's show, Steven Crowder expressed concern after watching a group of female Army soldiers dance in a less than coordinated fashion on TikTok. "We're doomed," he began, adding that the women in the video "are not even good at dancing, which is concerning."

According to Crowder, dancing can indicate the group's overall coordination and teamwork.

"If they [the women in the video] get into a conflict with a potential threat like China and a dance-off settles it, we are still screwed," Crowder said.
