A 2015 Teacher of the Year from St. Paul schools lost her spot on a new teacher licensing board because she insulted President Donald Trump, using a raw expletive, in a social media post.

“He is not worthy, nor are his puppet masters, of human dignity,” reads the Jan. 12 Facebook post of Amy Hewett-Olatunde. “He is the s***hole and we should line up to take a dump on him.”

The comment was attached to a news article about remarks attributed to Trump earlier this year in which he questioned why the U.S. would accept more immigrants from Haiti and “s***hole countries” in Africa.

State Sen. Paul Utke, R-Park Rapids, read the post on the Senate floor this past weekend as Hewett-Olatunde’s nomination for a spot on the Professional Educator Licensing and Standards Board was considered.

“That’s the kind of stuff that really bothered me,” Utke said, supporting a request by colleague Sen. Eric Pratt, R-Prior Lake, not to confirm Hewett-Olatunde.

Hewett-Olatunde said Tuesday that Trump’s comments have a painful impact on the students that she works with, all of whom are immigrants or English learners. She said she felt the need to publicly reject the president’s comments.

“I stand behind everything I have posted on Facebook,” Hewett-Olatunde said in a phone interview. “I’m not going to apologize for being passionate about something that is affecting my students every day.”
