EPPING, N.H. (AP) - A New Hampshire school board is expected to discuss a principal’s decision to tell a student to remove or cover up her “Trump: Make America Great Again” T-shirt.
Epping High School freshman Ciretta MacKenzie said she was taken out of class April 8 by her principal, Brian Ernest. The 15-year-old told NECN that he said, “’We don’t want church and state being mixed, and that (President Donald) Trump is very controversial and we don’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings.’”
MacKenzie said she put on a sweatshirt over the T-shirt. By the end of the week, Ernest apologized and said school officials have started to draft a plan to “move forward to promote civil discourse and diversity” in school.
