I was not allowed to wear a hat at school period and I think it should stand.
I don’t care if the kid was wearing a Trump, Hillary, LBJ, or IKE hat.
Keep the hats on the ball-field and your parents agenda at home.
Kids deserve to be kids.
Learn how to read.
He only wore the hat outside the classroom.
You are making a heck of an assumption that this isn’t this kid’s own “agenda.” I remembering arguing politics with my father when I was this kid’s age. I usually watched the news with my Dad frequently and was already interested in politics (it was an election year when I was 9). I didn’t not follow his beliefs blindly even then, though of course he was an influence on me, as were my teachers.
Kids deserve to act in the way that suits their personalities and preferences and not be limited by outside forces trying to get them to conform to their expectations for a child. I hated it when adults tried to do that to me as a kid. I remember my third grade teacher banning me from taking a book about the presidents with me to recess because she thought I should be playing, instead of reading. The only actual thing she accomplished was to make me resent her. I eventually smuggled it back out under my clothes.
At any rate, this has nothing to do with letting kids be kids. Only Trump hats were targeted for banning. I say bravo to this smart and determined kid. Frankly, I think there is too much of an egalitarian effort in this country to push the smart children down to the level of the slow ones. I applaud the ones who rise to the top anyway in this environment.
Right. Either everyone is allowed to wear a hat, or no one is. Exception, of course for obscenities or outright incitement.
Oh...wait...to liberals any opposing viewpoint IS outright incitement!
If the policy of the School is NO Hats, you are right on the money.
The Policy of this particular School is that Students can wear Hats, so your Post has nothing to do with this Story.
