Teacher Suspended After Pro-Trump Yearbook Photos Altered

WALL, N.J. (AP) — A New Jersey school district has suspended a teacher after yearbook photos of two high school students were altered to remove President Donald Trump's name on their clothing.

Wall Township School Superintendent Cheryl Dyer told News 12 New Jersey on Monday the yearbook's adviser was suspended while an investigation is underway.

One student wore a sweater vest with Trump's name on it. Another student wore a T-shirt emblazoned with the words "Trump Make America Great Again." But neither feature appeared in the photos published in the yearbook.

The district also is probing why a Trump quote submitted by the freshman class president wasn't included under her photo while a quote by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt appeared under the senior class president's photo.
