Parents on both sides of the political spectrum are condemning a game at a Gloucester elementary school fundraiser where children tossed bean bags at a mock tombstone for President Trump.

“It’s not the place for an elementary school to put something like that out there, regardless of what your opinion of the president is,” said Michelle Skalski, a mother of three whose 7-year-old daughter attends West Parish Elementary School. “If someone had put Obama’s name on a tombstone, there would be outrage.”

In a letter to parents, West Parish Principal Telena S. Imel said: “On Friday evening, the West Parish Grade 5 Parent Committee hosted Haunted Happenings, a party and fundraiser for the West Parish Community. … Unfortunately, however, one game brought in by a parent included the name of our president painted on a tombstone.”

At the event, some fourth- and fifth-graders were “‘screaming, ‘Get Trump! Rest in peace, Trump!,’ ” said Skalski, who did not vote for the president.

“No matter who you voted for, it’s unacceptable in an elementary school,” Skalski said. “It’s a little young to place your opinion in their little minds. We’re supposed to be teaching them not to be what the president is being. I don’t think anyone should be fired over it. But it was poor judgment.”

Gary Palazola, a father of 9- and 11-year-old boys who attend the school, said he likes Trump but thinks the uproar is an overreaction to an incident for which the offending parent has apologized.

“It was just a bad joke,” said Palazola, 48. “The school should have just gotten rid of it. I don’t think it was a threat to the president. It was kind of immature.”

Sarah Patrick, whose two of three children attend the school, said the game went too far.

“School exists to educate children and teach them to think for themselves and to be respectful of other people’s viewpoints, so it’s not a place for politics, even though I understand some of the thoughts behind the subject,” said Patrick, 30, who didn’t vote for Trump.

“It’s disappointing politics was brought into an event that was supposed to be for fun and families,” she said. “I can certainly understand the sentiments and the frustration a lot of people feel about the president. But (the tombstone) crossed the line, wishing someone dead. I’m sure that parent is really regretting that decision.”
