Actually, I just woke up one day and decided I didn’t want to feel like that anymore, or ever again. So I changed. Just like that.

School Suspends 12-Year-Old Boy Attacked on Bus for Wearing a 'Make America Great Again' Hat

A 12-year-old boy in Missouri was attacked on a school bus by his peers for wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat—and was suspended from school as a result.

A cellphone video of the incident shows Gavin Cortina of St. Louis being bullied physically and verbally by his peers for expressing his political beliefs on a hat Wednesday, the Daily Mail reports.

“You want to build a wall?” one student yells in the clip. “You want to build a f—king wall?”

Things escalated quickly after that, according to Gavin.

“At one point, he just got so frustrated he pushed me,” the sixth-grader told KMOV. “And then he kept hitting me and backing me up by the window of the bus, and so I just had to push him out.”

Even though Gavin was the one being attacked, the Parkway School District suspended him. His mother, Christina, is outraged at the school and is concerned about what will happen if he wears the hat again.

“As a parent it’s so unsettling,” she said. “I feel like my son was made an example of, it was a tricky situation—it was politically charged.”

A spokesperson for the Parkway School District said they investigated the fight and that all students involved have faced “consequences.”

At least one student was suspended, according to KMOV.

The district sent out notices to parents with suggestions on how to talk about the election results with their children after Trump’s victory in November, the New York Daily News reports.

The top 3 most hilarious police reports

A nurse at Upstate University Hospital in Syracuse resigned after she published pictures of a patient’s penis. New York’s Department of Education accepted the “request from Kristen Johnson, 27, of Fulton to surrender her license.” Now, she will not “contest a charge that she practiced nursing with moral unfitness.” Authorities arrested her in May 2015 after investigating her for nine months. Syracuse.com reports: Johnson pleaded guilty in November to misdemeanor disseminating of unlawful surveillance photos. Felony charges against her were reduced as part of her plea which required she give up her license to practice as a registered nurse and spend three years on probation. In addition to photographing the male patient’s genitals, Johnson used her iPhone 5 to take a video of another nurse cleaning an incapacitated female patient’s gastrointestinal blood clot, according to court papers. Authorities initially charged her “with two counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance and one count of second-degree disseminating unlawful surveillance.”

A man would not have been allowed to plea bargain a FELONY charge down to probation and resignation.

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all - in which case, you fail by default.
