Report: Teacher 'Reassigned' After Calling Trump 'Idiot'

Report: Teacher 'Reassigned' After Calling Trump 'Idiot'

By    |   Thursday, 26 September 2019 09:59 PM EDT

A middle school teacher who referred to President Donald Trump as an "idiot" on a quiz has been reassigned, according to the principal, ABC-25 Palm Beach, Florida, reported.

"A question on a quiz given by your child's Computer Applications teacher yesterday, was brought to my attention this morning," Principal Phillip D'Amico wrote in a statement to the school kids' parents. "The question was inappropriate, and demonstrated an unacceptable lack of good judgment on the part of the teacher. An investigation is now underway, and the teacher has been reassigned during this process.

"Because this is an open inquiry, I am not at liberty to share any additional details with you at this point. I apologize for this incident, and for the offensive verbiage used in the question. Thank you for your patience, and your continued support of Watson B. Duncan Middle School."

A father of a girl in the class posted a tweet with a photo on a private account no longer viewable outside his followers, denouncing the bias in the school, per The Hill:

"This was an actual question on my daughters middle school test today. Furious. Going to raise some hell with the principle. Indoctrination will not continue. (See word "idiot" at the end of our presidents multiple choice answer). Not having it!"
