California boy banned from wearing Trump hat in school

A third grader found himself in the middle some controversy over his Donald Trump hat. School officials told him to take it off and leave it and home.

“This is my favorite hat,” Logan Autry said.

The red hat reads “Make America Great Again”.

“The first amendment says I can wear my hat,” Autry said. “They told me to take my hat off because it brings negative emotions to the other children who don’t like him.”

Autry says school officials at Powers-Ginsburg Elementary School told him to take his Trump hat off due to safety concerns after other students confronted him. He says they told him the hat was becoming a distraction…he says he knows students didn’t like it.

“They were saying he was stupid, I had to explain to them what Donald Trump was actually doing,” Autry said.

Autry may be Trump’s biggest “little” fan. He says he wants to be a politician when he grows and even pretends to be one now. He was at the front row at the Trump rally in downtown Fresno with his uncle Friday. He got his hat signed and even shook Donald trump’s hand.

“He supports Trump even at his age he knows a lot about politics,” Zacc Autry, Logan’s uncle, said.

Autry’s uncle Zacc Autry says they took him out of school because of the controversy Thursday. He doesn’t think this is fair.

According to district code, hats are permitted outside the classroom, but if they become a distraction they can ask students to not wear them.

“I still said no I am not taking it off, and I said no, then the principal told me to take it off,” Autry said.

Logan thinks it isn’t distracting enough to the point he needs to take it off.

Turns out, logan’s dogs ended up chewing the hat into pieces.

trump’s team found about the hat, the controversy… and the dogs… and are sending him a brand new one.
