A California elementary school teacher has come under fire after posting a video on social media telling students who were waving a F*** Joe Biden flag during a Veterans Day rally to 'go jump off a bridge.'
Kristin Usilton, 38, a teacher at Glen Speck Elementary School in Paso Robles, shared a video on her Instagram in which she appears to tell her young students about confronting members of the Conservative Club from Paso Robles High School who were waving the derogatory flag.
'The Paso Robles Conservative Club for the high school, you can go jump off a bridge,' Usilton stated on her Instagram story.
'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. And had the LGBTQ population done that or the black or the Hispanic community members, we would have had our asses chewed out.'

Kristin Usilton's apologized after her video sparked outcry
Usilton followed those comments by posting a video showing Conservative Club members at the high school waving the anti-Biden flag in the school's parking lot.

'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,' Usilton said. 'But if that's what you focused on in that message, you're kind of part of the problem.'
As of Thursday afternoon, Usilton had deleted her Instagram account, DailyMail.com can confirm.

The Paso Robles Joint Unified School District said that it is conducting investigations into both videos of the anti-Biden flag and Usilton's remarks in her online videos.
'Last Wednesday, a student effort to honor Veterans Day was disrupted by a very poor choice to include a profane flag. This both detracted from the intended purpose of the demonstration and led to considerable disruption, including
