Two students at Newton Falls Junior High say they were removed from class by a teacher and received an in school suspension after displaying materials in support of Donald Trump.

Now after pressure from parents and a local attorney, Newton Falls School Board members say they will investigate the matter.

21 News talked to Shayne Battison. He is one of several 8th grade students at Newton Falls Junior High who say they felt bullied by the science teacher the day after the election.

Battison says his Donald Trump memorabilia was called disgusting and students were allegedly instructed not to even mention Trump's name in the classroom.

"We were in her class and I had a Trump like sticker on my notebook and she said that we weren't allowed to have anything about Trump and she ripped it off and she said if she hears his name we'll be kicked out of her class," Battison said.

Just minutes later the 13-year-old claims that's exactly what happened when he asked for his sticker back. The teacher allegedly sent him down to the office for an in school suspension.

8th grader Ian King says he was wearing a Trump t-shirt and the same teacher allegedly told him he could not wear it in her classroom.

"She told me to go to the bathroom and like turn my t-shirt inside out and I said no and she made me stand in the hallway," King said.

The attorney for the boys says the teachers really missed out on a teachable moment about democracy and free speech.

Attorney David Engler tells 21 News, "The teacher completely missed an opportunity and instead literally bullied these two young boys and gave them the wrong lesson. They violated their First Amendment rights. They could have taught them about democracy, taught them about our First Amendment rights of free speech, they could have talked about diversity, diversity of opinions and also importantly because it was the day after the election they could have talked about what it means to be a gracious winner and a good loser. The parents don't want anyone's job. They don't want retribution. But they want the school system to learn from this and understand that there's no room for this type of behavior in a school system in America in 2016."

The students even allege that another teacher cried in front of students because Trump won the presidential election.

21 News did locate the school's handbook online and it clearly states that articles with political statements are forbidden.  But it's how the teacher handled the situation that's under investigation.

Debra Davis is a Newton Falls School Board Member, "We will look into this further definitely. We have heard you. We are listening. We care. Our students come first. That's why we are all here."

Superintendent Paul Woodard told parents, "There was a misunderstanding with the district administration regarding the ability of students to post messages on their personal text books, and that misunderstanding has been addressed and cleared up. Some of the other information you've brought to light is news to me and it's stuff we will have to look into."

Amy Battison, the mother of Shayne Battison was outraged by an earlier statement that Superintendent Woodard made to 21 News over the weekend. So Battison wanted to make some things perfectly clear to the Board of Education, "They were suspended. They were kicked out of class and whether it was an in school suspension for 5 minutes, 10 minutes or 15 minutes, they were suspended from their education. That's a problem. It was deceitful. You (Superintendent Woodard) made it sound like the kids were defaming school property and that was not the case."
