An elementary school teacher in California has caused quite a stir since posting a video to Instagram where she urged members of a conservative high school club to go “jump off a bridge” because one student waved an anti-Biden flag containing an obscenity during a rally.
Fox News reports that the students flew the flag, along with an American and a military flag, on Nov. 10 in the Paso Robles High School parking ahead of Veteran’s Day.
The flag that contained the profanity was up for a matter of minutes before the students were instructed to take it down.
Kristin Usilton, who is a teacher at Bauer Speck Elementary School, shared her disapproval of the flag in a video on her Instagram page. In the recording, Usilton remarked, “The Paso Robles Conservative club for the high school, you can go jump off a bridge.”
Twitter user @ChadRickard shared a short clip of Usilton’s comment in her now-deleted video.
This is a teacher in Paso Robles, CA school district, telling Conservative Club kids to “jump off a bridge.” We don’t need this trash teaching our children. Retweet and share her ignorance. pic.twitter.com/fgfhoGhp5R

Then Usilton made another video in an attempt to justify her comments, Fox News reports.
“When I said ‘go jump off a bridge,’ I just meant go away, and I will not use that term again because of the incredible influx of messages I got about that,'” Usilton said. “‘But if that’s what you focused on in that message, you’re kind of part of the problem.”
