Meanwhile, two high school teachers, one in Chino and one in Cerritos, are under investigation for angry outbursts in response to students wearing MAGA gear in class. Talking politics is welcomed at Cerritos High School within certain parameters, according to a spokesperson for ABC Unified. Eliasberg said public school teachers have strong 1st Amendment protections to share their political views online — expletives and all. Problems, however, could arise if the online political posts call into question a teacher’s ability to do their job, he said. “If I can’t wear a Harris [hat] you can’t wear it,” he said, referencing a student’s Trump hat, according to a recording of the outburst.
