San Diego high school attacked students over pro-Trump LGBT poster: suit

School administrators at a San Diego High School are being accused in a federal lawsuit of retaliating against two students for expressing pro-Trump views at a February 6 anti-ICE rally on campus.The suit, against Torrey Pines High School, also alleges admin falsely reported one of the students to police, who ended up in an overnight psychiatric hold.In the federal complaint from Aug.19, one student, referred to as M.F., says he and a co-plaintiff, referred to as A.F., attended to express their contrary viewpoints.

To make his point, M.F.brought a small printout to the demonstration that spelled out “LGBT” using different images: the Statue of Liberty above the “L,” a rifle above the “G,” a glass of beer above the “B” and a photo of President Donald Trump above the “T,” according to the La Jolla Village News.The lawsuit says M.F.

returned to class after the rally still carrying the flyer.When his teacher saw it, she became upset and immediately left the classroom.Three days later, Torrey Pines High School Assistant Principal Angela Guerrero called M.F.

and another student into her office and told them they would each receive two days of detention for bringing the flyers to the demonstration and for allegedly “frightening” other students, according to the complaint.But the situation escalated later that week when M.F.was called back to the office by himself and confronted with far more serious accusations.School officials accused the teenager of making “disturbing searches” on a public school computer, including “how to load a Glock,” “how to load a magazine” and “how to dispose of a body,” according to the lawsuit.
