Teacher Forbids Student from Choosing Trump as Her Class Project Hero

Actions by an educator who brought her own personal politics into a middle school classroom are met with outrage across the nation
A mother says her daughter was given a class assignment to choose a hero to write about — and she chose President Donald Trump.
But when the student turned in her project, the teacher wouldn’t accept it.
Bella Moscato, age 11, of Ronkokoma, New York, felt her choice of Trump as a hero was a no-brainer and that she would ace this assignment.
But the teacher brought her political feelings into this situation — and denied the student’s choice of the 45th president of the United States.
The teacher blamed Trump for spreading negativity across the nation and much more.
It seems the guidelines for this project didn’t include such boundaries as staying away from President Trump — so the girl thought she was on track to following the project’s instructions.
When sixth-graders at Samoset Middle School [in Long Island] were assigned to pick a hero on whom they would write a report, 11-year-old Bella Moscato said her choice was a no-brainer.
“Donald Trump is my hero,” she says.
The 45th U.S. president has been Bella’s idol since she was eight years old, which is why she dressed up as Trump for a third-grade class project. But Bella says when she told her sixth-grade teacher that Trump was her choice for the hero project, the teacher nixed the idea.
Bella says her teacher said Trump “spreads negativity and says bad stuff about women” in front of another teacher and students in the class.
The teacher told her to pick another hero. (source: News 12)
