Similar to the scenes of 2016, teachers and professors are returning to their classrooms after Tuesday’s presidential election to remind everyone how insufferably partisan they are. (That is unless they’ve canceled classes all week.)
But one Chicago high school student is going viral for pushing back at his intolerant teacher and standing his ground in front of a classroom full of teenage sheep.

The kerfuffle seemingly began when the teacher turned his daily lesson into an opportunity to encourage his impressionable pupils to dump their friends if they voted for President-elect Donald Trump.
“What’s wrong with voting for Trump?” the student asked.
“Well just listen,” the teacher responded, patting himself on the back for turning down his buddy who'd asked, “Can we still be friends after the election?”
“I said ‘No, we can’t,’” the teacher bragged.

“You stopped being friends with them, because they voted for Trump?” the befuddled student shot back.
“Yes,” he answered as the room full of indoctrinated adolescents turned to laugh at their conservative classmate.
“Teacher, I expected way more from you,” the lone Trump supporter replied.
One of his peers stood up to defend the teacher, insisting he said the opposite of what he just did.
“He’s saying you can still be respectful and still have mutual terms with that person,” she began to cover for him.
“Everybody’s entitled to their own opinion,” she continued.
“Right. So Why would you cut somebody out, because they voted for Trump?” the Trump supporter asked before being interrupted by his teacher.
“You can’t dominate the discussion,” the teacher shot back. He had the chutzpah to scold the student to “be tolerant of each other’s views” before doubling down on his attack against those with other views.
In an act of contradiction, Mr. Tolerant whined he “expected” “that our country” and “citizens were more decent.”
“And if they voted for Trump, they’re not?” the reasonable student asked his teacher.
“Yes.” he clarified.
“If I have friends that tell me ‘Oh… MAGA, MAGA MAGA,’ I can’t be friends with them,” the teacher added.
“Because he voted for Trump?” the student asked again.
“Exactly,” responded the teacher.
“You don’t get it,” another pupil lectured the pro-Trump student, who was still shocked that the designated “adult” in the room had emboldened an entire class of young Americans to dehumanize their peers.
The video ended with the Trump supporter telling his class “some of ya’ll are blindsided by what you hear on the internet.”
It is a sad omen for our nation’s education system, when our kids are more mature than the people we employ to guide them.
