A Dallas ISD teacher has been removed from the classroom after a video of her shooting at an image of President Donald Trump with a squirt gun and yelling "Die!" was posted on social media.

The Dallas Morning News reports Payal Modi, an art teacher at W.H. Adamson High School in Dallas ISD, was put on administrative leave Thursday afternoon.

The eight-second video shows a woman pointing a water gun at a whiteboard with Trump's image on it. The Morning News reports the video was posted to Instagram on Jan. 20, the day of Trump's inauguration.

Other voices can be heard in the video. It's unclear if students in the classroom when the video was recorded.

Here is this ad



Here is his speech


Donald Trump's campaign is reaching out to Indian-American voters with a series of new television ads using an adaptation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's slogan.

Modi has taken a rather hard line against Muslims in India and that is why Trump likes him.

Indian-American voters are a fast-growing demographic, and then of course there's India itself.

My guess is that he has sizable investments there, and wants to stay on Modi's good side.
