The boy’s mother recently obtained Foye Walker as an attorney. The mother tells The Daily Mail the fight started because her son previously wore a hat supporting President Trump. The video posted does not show the boy wearing any Trump apparel.
The Hamilton County School Superintendent released a statement on the incident. "We absolutely do not condone the use of physical force between students, " Rex Mitchell said. The Superintendent says there is no evidence the fight was politically motivated.
