Everybody is offended by everything nowadays, it’s horseshit.

I'm not a Trump fan but it's called freedom. Let her wear it.

[mattfromtinder]

The hat could invoke violence? This is the dumbest thing ever.

[macias]

person: breathes
this generation: i'm offended

[chasekparker]

Need more women like this for America and not against. Congratulations ma’am, much respect for you and your boldness.

It's called the first amendment, if you don't like it get out.

"Could provoke violence" - tells you a lot about what people think about liberals lol

[airbornspider]

😂No triggering hats in the safe space.🤣

Perhaps she can say she is “peaceful protesting”, then all restrictions are lifted, right?

They won't let you graduate high school for wearing a hat and tshirt. That's crazy. This student is acting more mature than her high school.

She doesn't care if she offends anyone. Then she shouldn't be surprised if no one cares that they offend her.

[jakesnake]

not things wrong with the hat. it's people that is the problem. go MAGA GIRL!

[furtherahead]

I don't see her faking a hate crime

[justicewarrior]

I bet that if she was wearing a Chegevara shirt it would be ok...
United States of USSR!!

[jeffhall]

It would be ok if it was a black lies matter shirt

When I was in school, you couldn't wear any hats period. I just assumed that's what this was. However, you could carry a hat around with you throughout the day. The reasoning is that you could hide controband underneath the hat. However, the reasoning this girl's school gave isn't reason enough. Either ban all hats, or allow all hats.

Nice to see a student that will actually contribute to society.

You go girl wear the MAGA hat and your TRUMP T shirt proudly. I Love Love it

So according to these comments, ya'll agree with censorship, bulling, and thought crime...it's like your giving this student the 1984 real time experience, or is that a banned book? Denying a citizen freedom of political expression based on your thoughts is Un American. Those who commit physical violence are the problem, not those who think.

Remember when this happened during your compulsory public education:


I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America
And to the republic for which it stands
One nation
Under God
Indivisible
With liberty and justice for All.


Then you sat down feeling good about yourself and where you were politely taking in your lesson for the day.


When every kid in class regardless of where they just moved from or what they talked like or looked like or what they believed at home was your new friend? And they felt the same way about you. When your teacher acted like they enjoyed being there?


Make america great again please.
