River Ridge High teacher Lyn Orletsky kicked two students out of her class because they were wearing t-shirts with President Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan 

A Georgia high school teacher has been slammed for kicking two students out of class because they were wearing t-shirts with President Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan.

The incident took place at River Ridge High School in Cherokee County last Thursday when the math teacher told the students that Trump’s campaign slogan wasn’t welcome in her classroom.

River Ridge High has not identified the teacher but she was named as Lyn Orletsky by Turning Point News who obtained footage of her telling the students to remove their shirts.

‘Just like you cannot wear a swastika to school… you cannot wear Make America Great Again like that,’ she said in the footage.

Cherokee County School District spokeswoman Barbara Jacoby said the teacher was ‘wrong’ to have made the comments. 

‘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,’ Jacoby said.

‘The teacher additionally – and inappropriately – shared her personal opinion about the campaign slogan during class.’
