STEVENSVILLE, Md. - The father of an 11-year-old middle school student is upset with his sons school after the boy was given a grade of 100 percent for drawing a picture that depicts the elephant symbol of the Republican Party defecating on the head of President Donald Trump.
James Smith said his son, a sixth grade student at Kent Island Middle School in Stevensville, was given an assignment by his teacher to draw a political sign, which led to his son's GOP elephant-Trump sketch with the words "Dump Trump Out of Office."
Smith said he met with school officials about his concerns and believes the grade given by his teacher was encouraging his son to be disrespectful to the current president. The father said the teacher would not take any responsibility and she asked him if he wanted her to change his sons grade on the assignment.

(3,077 posts)I think it met the requirements of the assignment. Nicely done. I am concerned however that the name of the minor child is in the article. I don't think the dad needs to worry about the teacher encouraging his son to disrespect Trump, I think the boy's message was clear.

(63,216 posts)Right here on DU, in fact.
The child's picture shows a decapitated Trump, does it not?
Why are we praising this child for making a political statement after we castigated Griffin for making a very similar statement? Hers didn't even include any shit.
