5th grader defies bullies, wears Trump hat to school despite harassment

EAG: MUSKEGON, Mich. — Ten-year-old Dallas Johnson couldn’t wait for Inauguration Day

He had followed the presidential campaign for months, and was thrilled when he woke up the morning after the election and learned that Donald Trump had won.

“I like that he’s honest and says what’s on his mind,” Dallas said about the President.

His parents rewarded that enthusiasm by ordering “Make America Great Again” caps for Dallas and his older brother, and they arrived a few days after Christmas.

Dallas wore his new hat a few times after that, but waited to wear it to school. He wanted to display it on the day President Trump took the oath of office.

“Whenever I said he’s our president, my mom would say he’s the president-elect,” said Dallas, a fifth-grader at Lincoln Park Elementary in the Mona Shores school district. “I said I was just waiting for Jan. 20, when he’s actually the president, so I can say that.”

He was pumped up when the big day arrived.   MORE

  1. GREAT KID!! CONFRONT THE BULLIES!! THEY HAVE NOTHING!!

    I LEARNED THIS LESSON IN HS WHEN I BEAT THE LIVING CRAP OUT OF THE SCHOOL BULLY, WHO I WOULD HAVE KILLED BUT HE BROKE FREE AND RAN LIKE A PUSSY!! I WAS LEFT WITH BLOODY KNUCKLES THINKING WTFO???!!

    THEY GOT NUTTIN’!!! WE NEED TO START BEATING SOME ASSES!! IT’S FUN!!!

  2. I was the only one who saw Nixon shellacking McGovern. I was thirteen and the teacher had browbeaten the rest of the class into submission. I was really feeling my oats the next year when I was the sole kid in class who picked Ken Norton to beat Mohammad Ali

  3. As a parent that probably over-protected my kids and now grandkids, I’m not in favor of a 10 year old having to defend himself in front of a potentially hostile crowd. That might be looking for more trouble than it is worth. I appreciate the enthusiasm though.

  4. Just heard a good local story on the way home. A 16 year old kid says “Make America Great” in class while his twisted teacher is running down Trump. She calls him up in front of class and tell the class “This is what a racist looks like”. Well the kid got home and told pops, who it turns out is ultra conservative, a Trump fanatic, and hyspanic. Also turns out dad has some money. So tomorrow him, his attorneys, the teacher, the principle, and a couple district people are meeting Tomorrow. They were interviewing him, and he’s pissed.

  5. It shouldn’t be long before conservative members of the minority communities realize that they need to step up and be heard. All of us white racists could use some help. I hope they kick that teacher’s ass.

  6. My kid is proud we have Trump. She loves the American
    flag and doesn’t take scrap off of the other kids. Good on
    the little boy. I was used to gettin my ass kicked by the 6th
    grade. But they knew I was there.
