(WATCH) California Elementary Teacher Triggered By Students Waving ‘F**k Joe Biden’ Flag, Tells Them ‘Jump Off A Bridge’ (VIDEO)
Students in a conservative club at a local high school were caught on school grounds flying a “f–k Biden” flag, prompting a California elementary teacher to suggest they should “jump off a bridge.” The teacher’s controversial video has gone viral across social media, with many attacking her.
A student was carrying the anti-Biden flag on Veterans Day which prompted Kristin Usilton, who works for the Pablo Roses Joint Unified School District, to go on a tirade on her Instagram. Usilton did not interact with the student. Just seeing the flag triggered her enough to push her to explode on social media.
“The Paso Robles Conservative club for the high school, you can go jump off a bridge,” she remarked. “I’m going to post what they thought was a great show of support for the veterans, who I’m pretty sure would be absolutely offended by what they did on school campus.”

Usilton then shared video of the flag-waving students.
That same day, she released a second video in which she explained she got an “incredible influx of messages” calling her out on her previous comments.
When I said ‘go jump off a bridge, I just meant go away, and I will not use that term again because of the incredible influx of messages I got about that. But if that’s what you focused on in that message, you’re kind of part of the problem,” she stated in her second video.
The video of the teacher quickly went viral on social media and amongst the student body.
Superintendent Curt Dubost indicated that the district was looking into Usilton’s video, as well as the kid who was videotaped flying the “f–k Biden” flag in front of the school.
Dubost is of the belief that the student efforts to honor Veterans Day were minimized by the “very poor choice to include a profane flag.” Dubost said the student(s) will be disciplined.
He went on to criticize the teacher’s statements on social media about the flag incident, which he found offensive.
Dubost released a statement saying this:
“The District is responding accordingly through the Human Resource office. The District will make it clear to all employees that as an employee of PRJUSD, social media is not the appropriate venue for criticism of our students and families and that we must conduct ourselves in a professional manner
With this stated, we want to emphasize that the District does not tolerate threats on our employees or students, nor do we condone cyber-bullying.”
