ST. LOUIS — A middle school student in St. Louis got into a fight on the bus because he was wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat.
"As a parent, it's so upsetting," Christina Cortina, the mother of the 12-year old who was wearing the Trump hat, told KMOV-TV.
In cell phone video of the incident sent to KMOV-TV, the students are heard arguing over President Donald Trump's proposed Mexican border wall. The situation quickly escalates to pushing and possibly some punches.
The 12-year-old boy was suspended after the hat, and a Parkway District spokesperson says the incident was investigated and all the students involved have faced "consequences."
"I feel like my son was made an example of, it was a tricky situation, it was politically charged," said Cortina.
The spokesperson said the district is also working to sit the students down and reach a peaceful understanding.
