A New Hampshire teenager said she felt ashamed and embarrassed when her high school principal reportedly told her she needed to cover up the “Make America Great Again” T-shirt and hat she wore for a patriotic celebration.
Ciretta Mackenzie, a freshman at Epping High School, told (Boston 25) she had to borrow a friend’s sweatshirt and took off the hat after being reprimanded for wearing the “MAGA” gear on Monday – which was “America Pride Day” at school.

I’m sure if the teen had worn a Che Guevara shirt on “Patriotic Day” there would have been no problem.
The story that was posted yesterday quoted the school board president as being pretty outraged about this and that the board was going to get things straight with the principal.
It’s hard to stand up to authority when you’re a kid and probably more so for a girl, but I really wish she’d have refused to cover it up - it would have elevated the issue and she would have felt better in the long run. But if the board acts as the guy said, maybe she will wear it the next time and there’ll be nothing the idiot principal can do about it.
Sue the cr@p outta them!!
Only way this stuff is gonna change!!!
Liberals dominate elected school boards even in “conservative” areas. Too many conservatives can’t be bothered to come out and vote in school board elections.
I wonder why the majority of parents don’t storm the next school board meeting and demand the principal be replaced or take kids out for a week or so?
Lawsuit. Get every penny you can.
President Trump may want to honor this young lady somehow for her experience and for daring to wear MAGA gear. I am sure he will hear about her.
And after the principal is humiliated she’ll come out with some empty apology.
Hell, any commie t-shirt or sweatshirt would have been OK with school administrators, I’m sure.
