High school sophomore Jade Armenio was viciously attacked by a fellow student in the schoolyard after sharing a post on social media expressing her support for Donald Trump. 

The Woodside High School student was grabbed by the hair, thrown to the ground and given a bloody nose by her attacker, who asked if she "hated Mexicans."

"This girl come up to me and said, 'do you hate Mexicans?'" Armenio relived in an ABC interview. 

"I said 'no' and she said 'you support Trump, you hate Mexicans.'"

Footage of the attack, in which Armenio can be heard screaming, was captured on another student's phone. 

Armenio's parents are horrified and justifiably concerned for their daughter's safety: 

"My husband and I don't put our political views on social media. Kids still do it. That's their life. We tell them don't do it, but even if she does she should never be hit like that," said Gina Armenio.

The principle of Woodside High School issued a statement that reads in part the recorded incident was investigated in conjunction with law enforcement and appropriate disciplinary action has been taken.

Armenio says she's also now the target of social media hate mail but she's taking it in stride.

"In high school if you really care about what every person thinks you're going to get torn apart," Armenio said.

 

Armenio's parents stated they will keep their daughter out of school until they are assured of her safety. Disturbingly, I don't believe we can get such assurances in today's day and age.
