An Orange County, California, high school student said he was suspended after his “Make America Great Again” hat was stolen, sparking a political argument with another student.
Laguna Beach High School student Zach Hornstein told Fox News Digital that he and several friends wore MAGA hats on Sept. 11 to honor Charlie Kirk, the Turning Point USA co-founder who was shot and killed during a speaking event at a Utah college campus the day before.
“His death really affected us,” Hornstein said. “I may not agree with everything he says, but I appreciate that he encourages students to think critically, consider both sides, and engage in honest discussions. My mom is an immigrant, and I was brought up to love America. On Sept. 11, I wanted to feel patriotic and show my support for our country
