California student says high school's MAGA hat ban violates First Amendment rights

The Clovis Unified School District, however, said that they would not allow her to wear the hat on campus because it violated the dress code of the institution
UPDATED FEB 25, 2019

A student in California has claimed that her school district's ban on her wearing a 'Make America Great Again' hat on campus violates her First Amendment rights. The student, identified as Maddie Mueller, attends Clovis North High School in Fresno and is part of a group known as the Valley Patriots, which has asked its members to wear MAGA hats on Wednesdays.

The Clovis Unified School District (CUSD), however, said that they would not allow her to wear the hat on campus. Mueller then asked authorities if she could wear any hat featuring Trump on it with the school's colors, but her request was denied. The school, in its argument, said that the hat violated the dress code of the institution, according to KSEE.
