Sixth-grader says teacher nixed Trump as ‘hero’ for class project

A Long Island sixth-grader says her teacher barred her from picking President Trump as her hero for a class project — and then trashed the commander-in-chief in front of the class.

“Donald Trump is my hero,” the crestfallen 11-year-old Bella Moscato told LI’s Channel 12 last week. “She said I wasn’t allowed to do Donald Trump because he spreads negativity and says bad things about women.”

She added: “The thing I didn’t get, she was OK with someone doing Barack Obama, but not OK with Donald Trump? That’s what got me angry.”

Her outraged parents want an apology from the instructor, who they accused of attempting to intimidate Moscato.

“I can’t believe that anybody in the school would tell her that guy [Trump] can’t be her hero,” father Arthur Moscato exclaimed at a recent school board meeting.

The Sachem Central School District’s superintendent denied the Moscatos’ claims in a statement to the television station, but offered a different tune when contacted by The Post.

“I wish to make it clear that the District does not endorse or condone any limitation or prohibition upon a student’s choice of the President of the United States of America as the subject of his or her ‘Hero’ report,” Kenneth Graham said in a statement. He otherwise declined to comment on the case, citing privacy laws.
