The parents, who wished to remain anonymous, told KEPR CBS 19 that their child was attending an English Sports and Literature class when the incident occurred. They said their child had not seen a chat message from the instructor requesting that the flag – which read “Trump 2020 No More Bulls---” – be taken down.

The parents said their child was removed without warning. KEPR CBS 19 reported that the teacher had asked the student if they had seen the message before being removed from the class, but the student claimed to have not.
