"Federal agents arrived at the school as they were searching for an 11-year-old who posted an anti-Trump video, according to a CPS source. Agents had visited a home and were told the person was a student at Hamline, the source said.

The principal said school administrators followed protocols and did not allow the agents inside the school."

Did you know that it’s illegal to say, “I want to kill the president of the United States of America”?

So schools can have a backbone. That's surprising.

A school in Chicago, at least.

While there is a federal department of education, public school systems are mostly beholden to state standards and policies. The outcome might have been quite different in a red state.
