Washington Post: California school bars third-grade Trump fan from wearing ‘Make America Great Again’ hat

By Ben Guario, Jun. 6, 2016, Washington Post

For many 9-year-olds, tough fashion choices mean having to pick a Star Wars tee over a Spider Man shirt, or deciding which Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle character looks best on a backpack.

Logan Autry is not your average 9-year-old.

Forget Hollywood franchise kitsch. In media interviews, Logan sports Oxford shirts and striped ties, with the entirety of his sartorial boldness concentrated in the bright red hat perched on his head. It might not be high fashion — but it is certainly a statement, and a vogue one at that: “Make America Great Again.”

Logan says he is a supporter, as much as a 9-year-old can be, for presumptive GOP nominee Donald J. Trump.

There is just one wrinkle, however. The third grader’s pro-Trump hat (stock crimson but signed by the businessman at a late May rally) is no longer welcome in hallways of Powers-Ginsburg Elementary School in Fresno, Calif.
