America Great Again' cap

A nine-year-old in California has been banned from wearing a Trump-supporting 'Make America Great Again' hat at his elementary school.

Logan Autry had to leave Powers-Ginsburg Elementary School early on Thursday because administrators felt his hat was a safety concern.

Students began confronting Logan and having tense conversations with him about the presidential election, officials said.

'The vice principal came up to me and told me to take my hat off because it brings negative attention from other students. And I said no a few times and then the principal told me again and I still said no and refused,' Logan Autry told ABC 30.

Logan wore his cap to school for three days and every day more students confronted the nine-year-old.

Logan is passionate about politics and American history and moved to Fresno, California, recently.

He says he's keeping the hat - no matter what the school or other students think.

'I still want to keep my hat. It's not the hat that draws attention, it's just my personality that the other children do not like,' Logan said.

Logan had the chance to meet the man behind the hat.

He skipped school and went to a Trump rally last week, where he purchased the cap.

He even shook Trump's hand and felt his famous hair.

'I felt his hair too, and it's actually real. On the TV it looks not real, but it like, has a blur but when you see it in real life it looks a lot different,' Logan said.

Logan's guardian, Angela Hoffknecht, said the elementary school student wants to be a politician when he grows up and already wears button downs and ties.

He also practices speeches about Trump during recess.

'I've told them his policies on illegal immigration, and our second amendment, and our first amendment and all of our amendments that need to be protected which are not going to be an amendment at all if Hillary Clinton or Bernie Sanders gets elected,' Logan sid.

Because school is almost out for summer, Logan's family is trying to find other hats for him to wear - but there's only the one bearing the phrase 'Make America Great Again' that Logan will put on.

Gotta be proud of this little guy! I can only imagine the flak he's getting in Cali!

it just a cap it don't say F'''' ( the school should wake the hell up ) what if it was another name would the school have the boy remove the cap ?

It's a shame that our children can't wear a cap that says they want to make our country great again. Why are Americans paying for schools that don't want our country to be great again?

If this kid cannot wear a Trump hat but Mexicans can wear their flags to school...then we need to OVERHAUL the entire taxpayer funded school system which includes ALL students wear the same thing with NO exceptions. A uniform of khaki pants, tennis shoes and a polo shirt the color of the school's choice. If the parents or kids do not like it then go pay for Private School out of your pocket.

Back to reading, writing, math and getting an education that WE are paying for!

Too many distractions and complaints now with religion, can't sing the Pledge of Allegiance, can't wave our US Flag, no Merry Christmas, no Halloween, just end it all and stick to hitting the books!

What an awesome brave young man. He will grow up to do important things I'll bet.

Every American citizen in public schools need to protest by wearing all things Trump and American symbolism attire.
