A teacher at a Christian school in California was seen on video leading 4 and 5 year-olds in a chant calling for President Joe Biden to leave office.
The incident reportedly took place on Feb. 18 at Turning Point Christian School and the video was posted to a school messaging app that is used to communicate with parents. It was removed three hours later, according to ABC 7.
“Who’s our President?” the teacher asked.
“Biden!” the students responded in unison.
“What do we want to do with him?” the teacher then asks the students
“We want him out!” the students responded, twice.
Christina McFadden, a parent, said she was “in shock” after seeing the video. “I had to watch it multiple times to realize, is this really happening?” she said.
McFadden said the anti-Biden chant was one of the first things her daughter told her about that afternoon after school.
“The first thing she said to me when I picked her up was ‘We want him out,'” McFadden said. “That was the great message she learned that day. Her first history lesson.”
A school official apologized for the incident in a message to parents, writing: “We use Brightwheel as a parent communication app to share about your child’s day and activities. Earlier today a video was posted that has since been deleted as it did not share our school and church philosophy of honoring and respecting authority including those in government positions.”
“We are sorry for any misunderstanding this could of (sic) created. With courtesy towards the families of our campus and the children in the classroom I am asking you to please not share with others or post the video on any social media platform.”
It’s unclear if any disciplinary action was taken against the teacher. McFadden said the school told her the teacher had been “repentant” and had learned from her mistake.
