A California high school student is facing assault charges after knocking a “Make America Great Again” hat off the head of a classmate and later slapping a teacher who intervened in the altercation.

Video footage captured on a cell phone in the classroom showed  Jo-Ann Butler, 17, going on a profanity-laden rant during the assault at Union Mine High School in El Dorado on Monday, Aug. 27.
