Remember the story on a high school kid in Harnett County, NC, who was told to remove his patriotic Trump jersey or leave by the principle?
A father tells me his son was asked by the school principal to remove this jersey during a patriotic-themed football game after people complained. Dad, a registered Democrat, says his son complied but felt humiliated. @HarnettCoSchool says it supports expression not disruptions pic.twitter.com/W9U9v2vBLF

Well
(WRAL)Â Harnett Central High School is under new leadership following an incident involving a student at an October 5 football game, according to public information officer Natalie Ferrell.
(background information on the situation)
On Friday, a news release from Harnett County Schools announced leadership changes involving Gordon’s position.
According to the release, effective immediately, Ms. Catherine Jones, current principal at Harnett Primary, will serve as principal at Harnett Central High School.
Additional information about (Cindy) Gordon’s employment status was not made available.
If she was terminated, I would disagree. Yes, she made a big mistake in the way she handled this, which you can bet was as a Trump hater/Hillary supporter. Even in a very Republican leaning county, you can bet school employees are going to lean Democrat. Regardless, I believe it would have been better to treat this as a learning opportunity about people’s 1st Amendment Rights. Even reassigning might be too much, though, with more responsibility comes more penalties.
