During my time surfing the news (which I waste plenty of time doing), I stumbled on a local news story about the Constitution and the First Amendment that caught my attention, and I have continued to follow it. 

This is the story of Ciretta MacKenzie, a freshman at Epping High School who recently decided to wear a “Make America Great Again” hat and a Donald Trump shirt for Epping High School’s “American Pride Day.” However, she was told to remove the hat and cover up the shirt because the items “violated” the school dress policy. The problem is, as MacKenzie says, that there is no prohibition on political gear in the dress code.
