Hero student praised for smashing her classmate's pottery project
A student has been widely praised and branded a 'hero' for a simple act of smashing her classmate's pottery project.
Brigitte Yasamin, a student in high school, was in her pottery class when she looked around and saw that the "bitch" next to her was making a confederate flag themed pot.

Rather than sit there watching the girl finish her pot, Brigitte decided to take action, going into full-on Hulk Smash mode.

Her teacher, obliged to investigate, later questioned Brigitte about the smashing. But she wasn't too bothered.
I deadass gave the driest "oops sorry" and she was like "it's ok"lmao

The teacher didn't even trip she was like "it happens" https://t.co/dfeSPeLWZ1
Brigitte is actually looking forward to being questioned by the principle.
I'm just happily waiting for the principle to call me up to her office so we can discuss this whole thing lol I ain't shook

Why was she even allowed to make this??? I bet if this was a BLM box it wouldn't of been allowed because it's "controversial" https://t.co/ffKkYz4Fa6

Although some people were annoyed that she had destroyed the other girl's racist property.
@BrigitteYasamin Every single last one of you congratulating this bully for smashing someone else's personal property need mental help. What if that was U?

@DZach0321 @BrigitteYasamin I've never put a racist symbol on a box for a class art project, Donna, how about you?
