A 9-year-old California boy was told this week he can't wear his Donald Trump campaign hat to school because it "brings negative attention."
According to
ABC30, Logan Autry can no longer don his red "Make America Great Again" hat at Powers-Ginsburg Elementary School in Fresno, Calif. He wore it for three days this week despite being told by school authorities to take it off.
"The vice principal came up to me and told me to take my hat off because it brings negative attention from other students," said Autry, who is in third grade. "And I said no a few times and then the principal told me again and I still said no and refused.
The boy said he's been telling his classmates at recess about Trump's positions on political issues.
"I've told them his policies on illegal immigration, and our Second Amendment, and our First Amendment and all of our amendments that need to be protected, which are not going to be an amendment at all if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders gets elected," he told the news station.
"I still want to keep my hat. It's not the hat that draws attention, it's just my personality that the other children do not like," said Autry, who apparently met Trump at a rally last week and "felt his hair too, and it's actually real."
Trump rallies have been the source of violent protests,
including one Thursday night in San Jose, Calif. Trump supporters there were pelted with eggs and punched.
