Teacher who compared Trump slogan to swastika no longer in classroom

A Cherokee County high school teacher who told students they couldn’t wear a “Make America Great Again” T-shirt during class last week is no longer teaching the math class, the principal said Friday.

Lyn Orletsky was seen on a viral video telling at least two River Ridge High School students that wearing the slogan made popular by President Donald Trump was like wearing a swastika.

The school district quickly apologized and said while disciplinary action against Orletsky wouldn’t be disclosed, the students weren’t in trouble.

“Her actions were wrong, as the ‘Make America Great Again’ shirts worn by the students are not a violation of our school district dress code,” Cherokee County Schools spokeswoman Barbara Jacoby said at the time.

One day, history books will accurately state that the MAGA hats and Trump crap was the beginning of a new generation of people with the same hatred in their hearts as the Nazis.

Unfortunately for the teacher, she took a stand in a deep red, deeply ignorant state. I applaud her principles if not her timing.
