I Thought Canadians Were Supposed To Be Calm And Polite

Apparently not all of them, as this teacher is clearly an idiot:

A 9th grade student at a Moosejaw, Saskatchewan high school who wore a “Make America Great Again” hat to class was told that he should be “embarrassed” and “ashamed” for wearing the pro-Trump cap.

According to the boy’s father, who did a phone interview on AM980 with Gormley, his son is a fan of debating ideas, and enjoys conversation about American problems.

Apparently, an art teacher at the school told the boy that the hat was a symbol of racism and sexism, and may have implied that the boy himself was supporting sexism and racism by wearing it.

Later on during class, the teacher allegedly invited his class to boo the boy, publicly shaming him for wearing the hat, and said “that’s a face I’d like to punch,” a line that President Trump infamously stated to a protester at a rally of his, during his 2016 presidential campaign.

The student, though, was unaware of the quote. From his perspective, he was just threatened by his teacher.

The teacher has since come out and admitted that saying this to the student was an error in judgement, and claims that the boy may have misheard the statement, or at the very least misconstrued it, missing the reference and thus the connotation around it.
