MAGA Brat Whines That She’s Not Allowed to Wear Trump Gear in School, ‘Since When is Patriotism Inappropriate?’

According to Your Central Valley, a California student is challenging her school district after they told her she was banned from wearing her red Make America Great Again hat on campus.

Maddie Mueller, a senior at Clovis North High School in Fresno, is not afraid to share her political views with the world, and was shocked when school officials told her she’s not allowed to wear the hat on campus on Wednesday.

Now Maddie, an aspiring Congresswoman, is fighting back saying her First Amendment rights are being violated.

“How does being a patriot in trying to show pride in your country, how is that inappropriate?”

She’s a member of the Valley Patriots, a conservative activist group, and they asked their members to wear their MAGA hats on February 20.

But Maddie was told that if she wore any Trump hat with school colors on it, she wouldn’t be allowed back on campus, citing the dress code.

“To my knowledge Trump is not a logo it’s a last name, it’s just our President, you can’t claim the President is a logo, sports team or affiliated with any gang,” she said.

She’s already received several dress code violations for wearing shirts that say “build the wall”.

“I don’t care if I offend anybody I’m just showing support for the President and what I believe,” she said.

The Clovis Unified School District’s (CUSD) dress code does not say specifically ban political clothing.

“Bottom line for us is the dress code is for kids to feel safe at school and free of distractions so they can focus on learning,” CUSD spokesperson Kelly Avants said.

“It’s unfortunate that our dress code is being misrepresented as specifically singling out a MAGA hat as that is not what the policy say,” she explained to Fox.

“The district dress code allows for students to wear shirts or other clothing with a wide variety of sayings and/or political commentary. Unless causing an actual disruption on campus, MAGA apparel is acceptable, and this has been shared with the student,” she added.
