 Brainerd High School has come under fire for comments against President Donald Trump published in the yearbook. A page in the yearbook asked students about their thoughts on the president. One of the sophomore students that was quoted said, I would like to be had him and I do not like him. The superintendent says that the district was previously unaware of the statements and is now investigating how this could have occurred. The district does not in any in any fashion endorse these kind of disrespectful statements. These statements are contrary to the basic educational mission of our district. Upset community members met a few blocks away from school to express their opposing viewpoints. The student who made the comments told KSTP that her comments were made as a joke. I basically was just like well I wouldn't mind if you was beheaded or something like that and you know we both laughed it was a joke I laughed. The district is offering to refund any yearbook purchases upon request.
