Neither did Trump “rise from his seat to present the National Teacher of the Year with her much deserved award, nor did he allow her to speak,” Giannopoulos continued.

The teachers were asked to sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Melania Trump, who turned 47 that day, before being allowed to have their photo taken with the president and the first lady. They were then “ushered out of the West Wing and back onto the streets of DC”, said Giannopoulos.

The event contrasted starkly with previous Teacher of the Year ceremonies, where teachers have been able to bring family members and speak conversationally with the president. Last year’s awards saw President Obama make an impassioned speech from a podium in the White House’s East Room, before mingling with the teachers during a live performance by the band FUN.

Everyone loves this teacher for bringing some LGBTQ pride (and sass) to the White House
