STUDENTS AT A COLORADO HIGH SCHOOL WERE CRITICIZED AFTER
THEY PUT A PHOTO OF DONALD TRUMP ON A BOAT ñ ON A PI—ATA, AND
THEN PROCEEDED TO HIT THE PI—ATA, WHICH YOU ARE
SUPPOSED TO DO.
THERE WAS A SPANISH TEACHER WHO IS CURRENTLY ALLOWED THEM TO DO
IT, AND ñ HE IS NOW ON ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE WHILE
ADMINISTRATORS LOOK INTO IT; HOWEVER, UPDATE TO THE STORY IS
THAT THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL IN JOHNSTOWN, COLORADO, HAD TO
CANCEL CLASSES BECAUSE OF THREATS THAT THEY RECEIVED
AFTER THIS WHOLE STORY BROKE.
SO, LOOK, THESE KIDS DO THE DATA THING, THEY ARE KIDS AND
MAYBE THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE DONE IT, WHATEVER, BUT THERE IS
AN INTERESTING CONVERSATION TAKING PLACE IN THE COUNTRY
ABOUT FREEDOM OF SPEECH.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE GOING TO SAY PI—ATA'S.
THE COUNTRY IS ABUZZ ABOUT PI—ATAS.
A PI—ATA'S ARE ALWAYS FUN.
THINK ABOUT IT, THESE KIDS DO WHAT THEY DO, AND EVERYONE IS UP
IN ARMS TO THE POINT WHERE SOMEONE ONLINE THREATENS THEM,
AND APPARENTLY THE THREAT IS CREDIBLE ENOUGH THAT THEY
HAVE TO CANCEL CLASSES FOR A FULL DAY, RIGHT?
WHAT HAPPENED TO CONSERVATIVES NOT BEING SNOWFLAKES?
YOU ARE NOT OFFENDED BY A PI—ATA THAT HAS TRUMP'S FACE ON IT?
WHAT HAPPENED TO FREE SPEECH?
YOU COULD ARGUE THAT THIS IS A FORM OF POLITICAL SPEECH ON
A PUBLICLY FUNDED CAMPUS, YES?
FREE SPEECH FOR ME, NOT SO MUCH FOR YOU.
WHERE IS ANN COULTER?
I'M SURE SHE'S OUTRAGED BY THIS.
YEAH, I HOPE YOU AREN'T OFFENDED.
ONTO THE ESSENCE OF THE STORY, I DON'T THINK THE QUESTION IS THAT
SIMPLE AS TO IF THE TEACHER IS THE ONE WHO ACTUALLY LEAD IT,
AND PUT THE PICTURES ON, ETC.,
THOSE ARE FACTS THAT WE ARE NOT SURE OF THIS POINT BASED ON
THE REPORTING IN COLORADO, SHOULD THEY SUSPEND HIM, ETC.
BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE THING ABOUT, SHOE ON THE
OTHER FOOT.
IF THERE WAS A TEACHER WHO PUT OBAMA'S FACE SOMEWHERE AND
ENCOURAGED THE KIDS TO HIT IT.
SHOOTING PRACTICE, HOPING ARE DOING THAT IN HIGH SCHOOL,
OR A PI—ATA, ETC.
I'M SURE THAT WE WOULD BE PRETTY PISSED ABOUT IT, AND WE
WOULDN'T WANT OUR KIDS BEING TAUGHT IN A PLACE WHERE
THEY ARE BEATING OBAMA'S FACE ON A PI—ATA.
I THINK CONTEXT MATTERS.
IF YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT AN ADULT WHO WAS ENCOURAGING
THAT BEHAVIOR, I THINK IT IS NOT RIGHT, REGARDLESS OF WHO
THE PRESIDENT IS.
AT THE SAME TIME, I FIND IT SO INTERESTING.
IF SOMEONE HAD DONE THAT WITH OBAMA OR BERNIE SANDERS IMAGE,
FOR THAT MATTER, I WOULDN'T FEEL COMPELLED TO SEND DEATH THREATS.
I WOULDN'T LOSE IT.
I WOULD COMMENT AND SAY THAT'S INAPPROPRIATE, LET'S MOVE
ON WITH OUR LIVES.
ON YOUR PART, OF COURSE!
THAT IS NOT AN INTERESTING DEBATE, AND
YOU ARE RIGHT, THE IRONY OF WHAT YOU ARE SEEING IN THE THREATS
IS, YOU ARE HARMING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PICTURE, SO I WILL
HURT ALL THE KIDS.
WHAT?
I THINK THAT YOUR OFFENSE MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY WORSE THAN
THEIR OFFENSE.
BUT IS IT AN OFFENSE?
AND I WANT TO ASK A POOL QUESTION ON THAT, BECAUSE
THERE IS ONE MORE WRINKLE TO IT.
IF YOU WERE FIRING AT A CLINTON OR BARACK OBAMA, TARGET
PRACTICE, LIKE THE STORIES WE'VE COVERED BEFORE, THAT IS ON
ACCEPTABLE, BUT THAT IS ACTUALLY FIRING BULLETS.
THIS IS A PI—ATA.
AND DO YOUR POINT ABOUT CONTEXT, DONALD TRUMP WENT AFTER
MEXICANS AND CALLED THEM RAPISTS AND CRIMINALS.
IF PEOPLE PUT OBAMA'S FACE ON A PI—ATA BECAUSE HE DEPORTED MORE
LATINOS THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENT IN HISTORY ñ WHICH IS TRUE, BY
THE WAY ñ I DON'T THINK I'D BE OFFENDED.
IT DEPENDS ON THE CONTEXT.
IF THEY SAID HE BROKE THE RECORD ON DEPORTATIONS AND IT
WASN'T THE RIGHT THING TO DO, SO WE PUT HIS FACE ON A
PI—ATA, I TOTALLY GET THAT.
I'M NOT SURE I WOULD HAVE DONE THAT, BUT I TOTALLY GET IT,
AND I UNDERSTAND THERE'S A REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE IMAGE
OF AN AFRICAN-AMERICAN WOULD YOU BEAT IT, ETC.,
SO THAT IS NEXT A BIT OF CONTEXT.
SO OUR POLL HERE, TYTNETWORK.COM/PINATA, AND WE
WANT TO SEE IF IT WAS INAPPROPRIATE FOR THE
TEACHER TO USE THE DONALD TRUMP PI—ATA.
YOU CAN CALL IT HYPOTHETICAL.
I AM GENUINELY CURIOUS ABOUT THIS, AND I AM A LITTLE
SPLIT FOR THE REASONS LIKE I JUST EXPLAINED.
YOU KNOW HOW YOU ARE VOTING?
WELL, IF IT IS THE TEACHER I THINK IT IS INAPPROPRIATE,
I DON'T WANT ANY TEACHER TO DO THAT, BUT IF THE STUDENTS
DID IT ON THEIR OWN, I DON'T CARE THAT MUCH WITH THE
POLITICIAN IS, OR WHAT THEIR IDEOLOGY IS, I THINK IT IS
A FORM OF EXPRESSION, AND YES I KNOW THAT THE FIRST AMENDMENT
IS LIMITED WHEN IT COMES TO GRADE SCHOOL CAMPUSES, EVEN
IF THEY ARE PUBLICLY FUNDED, BUT I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT TO ALLOW
KIDS TO THINK CRITICALLY AND SHARE THEIR POLITICAL OPINION,
AND TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO SHARE THEIR POLITICAL OPINION.
I'M NOT SAYING ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO VIOLENT THINGS, BUT IF
THEY ARE FRUSTRATED ABOUT SOMETHING, I THINK IT IS A
TEACHABLE MOMENT.
AND ALSO, LOOK, I COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND THAT, IN THE
PAST, WE HAVE DONE STORIES WHERE SOMETHING LIKE THIS
HAPPENS, OR SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPENS, AND WE ARE OUTRAGED.
BUT NOW I'VE GOTTEN TO A POINT WHERE I AM TIRED OF THE
OUTRAGE.
IT IS A PI—ATA, IT IS A BUNCH OF HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
HITTING A PI—ATA THAT HAS DONALD TRUMP'S FACE ON IT.
I JUST DON'T CARE THAT MUCH.
INTERESTING ENOUGH.
I KEEP THINKING, HE ATTACHED LATINOS, IT'S A PI—ATA, I GET
IT, ON THE OTHER HAND, I KEEP THINKING, I DON'T WANT BERNIE ON
A PI—ATA.
IT IS A TOUGH ONE.
YOU DECIDE, TYTNETWORK.COM/PINATA.
