California Teachers Placed on Leave After Anti-Trump Comments in Classrooms

Two teachers from Inland Empire schools face administrative leave following controversial remarks about President-elect Donald Trump during class discussions.

An English teacher from Chino High School and a history teacher from Valley View High School are under investigation for making anti-Trump comments to students.
The Chino High teacher clashed with a student wearing a Trump hat, while the Valley View teacher compared Trump to Hitler and criticized voter turnout.
Both incidents have sparked debates on free speech in schools, with students at Valley View High School staging a protest in support of their teacher.
The Moreno Valley Unified School District has placed the Valley View teacher on administrative leave, pending a review of the incident.
Legal experts highlight that while students have robust free speech rights, teachers are subject to district guidelines during school hours.
