MAGA

On the CBS News website, there is an article about a student being corrected. The title is "Student criticized dress code after being told she can't wear the "Make America Great Again" hat to school. by Alex Sundby. The author wants to inform mostly the community but also the rest of the country to show what really goes on and what students are seeing every day. He is also, trying to show that schools have policies that need to be enforced by the district.

 I think it is good that people get a living by showing people what is going on through the news. It's very interesting what happens in schools every day and it makes parents feel like their kids are not safe at school anymore. When the lady from the school gets interviewed and says, "dress code is about allowing our kids to come to school to feel safe and school, to feel supported at school and to be free of distractions." that makes parents feel better but the fact that the student still wears that makes them feel like rules are not followed. Yes, the MAGA hat is not gang related but it is racial toward a lot of people especially because Donald Trump is the one that came up with that. Being racist is also considered bullying to some people. If bullying is not allowed in schools, they shouldn't allow people that are racist. anything racist should be left outside of the school's doors. 

The author did a good job of informing the county on what is really happening and some people just ignore it. What if it was something offending you? Think about that!

No Need For Apology (Blog #2)

Fox News had an article "Restaurant owner who banned costumes in MAGA hats take back remarks, apologies for 'amplifying the anger'" by Michael Bartiromo, it's interesting to read because you can see that people don't really have freedom of speech without getting criticized for what you feel. Anyone can reject service to people. Lopez said, “It hasn’t happened yet, but if you come to my restaurant wearing a MAGA cap, you aren’t getting served, same as if you come in wearing a swastika, white hood, or any other symbol of intolerance and hate.” MAGA meaning,  "Make America Great Again". All he meant is that he did not want any kind of hate in his restaurant weather is racism or not. IF THE SHOE FITS THEN WEAR IT. If you are against racism I recommend to read it I'm sure you will be heated after reading it.  https://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/restaurant-owner-who-banned-customers-in-maga-hats-takes-back-remarks-apologizes-for-amplifying-the-anger
