"He's talking about the Women for Trump pin and I said, that's fine you don't have to like it, we can have our opinions."Earegood described a struggle between herself and the teacher where he tried to take the pin off her."He grabbed it and I pulled and I tried to push his hand away and he grabbed my shoulder, just kind of put his hand there, and then he started pulling more and more and I just started backing up."She said the teacher then put the pin, upside down on his shirt, and stated that it belonged that way.Mason Superintendent Ronald Drzewicki wouldn't talk to us on camera, but he did say, "Once we have a complete understanding of the situation, we will take appropriate action."The Earegoods filed a police report.“I made a criminal assault and larceny report against the teacher," said Capi Earegood, Sadie's mother.

Mr. Kato graduated from Spring Arbor University and pursued a few different paths before becoming a high school teacher.

He has reportedly not been seen on campus since the incident.In the wake of the incident, students defended Kato, claiming this is being blown out of proportion.“[Earegood’s] perspective must have been totally different than what Kato’s perspective was, but from witnesses around it seemed as a jokingly matter,” senior Ina Aker said.“Everyone is just outraged. That’s just the best way I can put it. Everyone is just upset because they feel like there’s more to the story than what’s being said,” Kato’s former student Alexa Martin said.Kato has lawyered up, and an investigation is ongoing.____________________________________________________________EXCERPT FROM: https://www.wilx.com/content/news/Student-says-teacher-pulls-off-her-Women-For-Trump-pin-565990631.html;republished below in full unedited for informational, educational and researchpurposes:"The dress code for Mason High School does not state anything about political paraphernalia not being allowed.NEWS 10 found this: Clothing that displays alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gang association, weapons, sexual or suggestive references, profanity, violence, intimidation or organizations promoting any of these are not appropriate.It also states that: the School recognizes the right of students to express themselves.
