Long Island middle school student gets supportive letter from President Trump

Last month, Bella Moscato, an 11-year-old at Samoset Middle School in Sachem, picked the nation's 45th president as her hero for a class assignment. Then Bella says her English teacher instructed her to pick another hero, or one already chosen by another classmate, citing the president's behavior toward women. Sachem School District disputes Bella’s account. Then, Bella received an envelope from the White House containing a letter signed by President Donald Trump praising her for her "heartfelt and longstanding support." Bella talked about her experiences - which have now gone viral - on Wednesday. Credit: Barry Sloan
