FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) --
One local Trump supporter is being banned from wearing a signature Donald Trump hat to school after it began to draw tense conversations.
Logan Autry left Powers-Ginsburg Elementary School early on Thursday because school leaders said something he was wearing is causing a safety concern on campus-- his red hat.
"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," said Logan Autry.
For three days straight the third grader wore the hat to class. But each day, more and more classmates began confronting him at recess.
"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," said Autry.
Autry recently moved to Fresno from the foothills, he loves politics and American history.
"He knows more than I do. He knows more about this election than I know, it's kind of embarrassing. You know, like are you smarter than a third grader kinda thing. But he is just very adamant about his beliefs and his rights. He wants to be a politician that's his goal," said Angela Hoffknecht, Logan's guardian.
He already has the shirt and tie down, and practices speeches about Trump on the playground.
