Rhode Island teacher Nikos Giannopoulos was named that state’s “Teacher of the Year.” A few weeks ago Giannopoulos was among teachers to visit the White House and he recently received his photo with the president:
Giannopoulos, who teaches 11th and 12th graders at Beacon Charter High School for the Arts in Woonsocket, visited the White House with other teacher of the year winners in April. He received the photo of his moment with Trump this week and immediately posted it to Facebook.
Here the teacher’s photo with Trump:

But was it as big of a deal as The Resistance made it out to be? Not really:
Guess it was safe for him in the White House. Sure messes up the narrative… https://t.co/Y6kmxwIg21

and Trump didn't mind because he is not anti-gay, or racist. Only some in media and Dem party try to portray him as that, for votes
