Nyla, currently 17, is not yet of voting age but will turn 18 on October 5th, a month before the election. According to Montana, Nyla was simply going about her day when she was suddenly pulled out of class and told that she had to register to vote. Nyla’s response was one of confusion, and she quickly messaged her mother.
In the transcript of their conversation, Nyla explained, “They made me register to vote today. I didn’t want to, but they forced me. I said I’ll do it another time, but then she told me I had no choice, which I think is a lie. I’m not even 18 yet.” Montana immediately responded, asking, “Who made you, and what party did you choose?”
Nyla’s response confirmed her mother’s fears. “It was a woman, and Democrat,” Nyla said, adding that the school staff member heavily implied negative consequences if Donald Trump were to win the upcoming election. “She basically kept saying how it would be bad if I picked Trump because of what he was doing to the Mexicans and stuff.”
Montana was furious. “I’m pissed! She had no right to fill your head with lies and choose what party you are registering for. I am your mother, and I will talk to you about that.”
The story took a darker turn when Nyla revealed that the woman implied a dire fate for Black Americans if Trump were re-elected. “She said I had no choice but to do it at that time,” Nyla recalled, further stating that the staff member claimed, “we Black people are doomed and are going to be finished if they let Trump back in.”
Montana wasted no time in confronting the school staff responsible for this incident. In a recorded conversation, she confronted a school official, referred to as a Minority Inspector, about the incident. The inspector’s response was less than satisfactory, with the official fumbling through an explanation and failing to take responsibility for the actions that led to Nyla’s registration.
Montana pressed the inspector, accusing her of projecting her personal political beliefs onto Nyla. The inspector denied making it mandatory for Nyla to vote but admitted to discussing political matters with her. The inspector said, “I did call her into my office, I did register her to vote, and we did have a conversation about it.” Despite the denial, the inspector’s acknowledgment of the conversation and its nature painted a picture of political manipulation.

Montana’s frustration grew as she realized that the school took it upon themselves to register her daughter to vote without consulting her. “I have not even spoken to her about the election yet,” Montana exclaimed, adding that she is a Trump supporter and strongly disagrees with the messaging Nyla was subjected to.
The inspector attempted to apologize for the situation, but Montana was not satisfied. “I apologize for registering your daughter to vote without your consent,” the inspector said, though the apology did little to quell Montana’s outrage. “You are, by telling her anything,” Montana responded, accusing the inspector of trying to shape her daughter’s political views.
As the conversation came to a close, Montana declared her next steps. “I’m calling the news also,” she said, promising to take further action against the school’s actions. At the end of her viral video, Montana revealed that she would be removing her daughter from the school. “I’m taking my daughter out of this school. She doesn’t feel comfortable here anymore, and I don’t either. This is beyond unacceptable.”
WATCH:
Despite her repeated attempts to reach out to the school’s principal and the Board of Education, Montana claims that she has received no response. The incident raises serious questions about the role of public schools in the political process and the extent to which they should involve themselves in the personal lives of students and their families.
Very wrong. Teachers are to teach children the basics. Not to indoctrinate. Not to frighten them so they vote like them. Those are personal ideas and are the responsibilities of the parents.
