A New Jersey father has shelled out more than $5,000 to reprint a high school yearbook after his son's photo was censored to remove Donald Trump's famed campaign slogan.

The devoted dad, Joseph Berardo, of Wall Township, New Jersey, has put up $5,279 towards the estimated $10,000 that it cost to reissue the Wall High School yearbook. The new yearbook would replace the doctored images with the original photos which featured the Trump reference.

Joseph told APP.com that he kicked in more than half of the money required for the reprint because it seemed like 'the right thing to do' and didn't want the reprint money to be taken away from funding school programs.

Grant Berardo, 17, was surprised to discover that the Trump slogan t-shirt he wore on school picture day (pictured here) was edited to look like he was wearing a plain blue shirt. His father, Joseph Berardo, has contributed more than $5,000 towards reprinting the yearbook

The remainder of the bill was covered by the yearbook photo studio, Lors Photography and a school district credit from yearbook publishers Jostens.

Two hundred copies of the yearbook were reprinted, but so far only 28 of them have been claimed by students as of mid-July.

The yearbook photography issue came to light in June, when it was discovered that Joseph's son's class picture had been notably altered.

When he sat for the photo, Grant Berardo, 17, a high school junior, was wearing a navy blue t-shirt featuring President Trump's 2016 campaign slogan, 'TRUMP Make America Great Again.'

But, in the yearbook that was passed out, the words had been removed so that Grant appeared to be wearing a solid navy blue shirt instead.

Wyatt Dobrovich-Fago's image also suffered from yearbook editing. The Trump slogan as it appeared on picture day (left) and as it appeared in the yearbook. The school claims the cropping was necessary for the photo to fit into the allotted space provided

A deeper examination of the yearbook revealed that fellow junior, Wyatt Dobrovich-Fago, had his image cropped so as to cut off the 'MAGA' phrase on his vest.

It was also found that a Donald Trump quote that Wyatt's younger sister, freshman Montana Dobrovich-Fago, had submitted for use below her image was omitted.

While school district authorities admitted that Montana's Trump quote was purposely cut from the yearbook, it claimed that the only reason why the slogan on Wyatt's chest was cropped, was because the image had to be resized to conform with all the other student photos.

After the yearbook controversy, the school district's superintendent, Cheryl Dyer, told parents that there was no dress code stipulation barring students from either wearing or expressing political viewers on their clothing.

In the letter to parents, obtained by NJ.com, Dyer said that the school was investigating the 'allegation of censorship and the possible violation of First Amendment rights' and added that the school does not 'condone any censorship of political views' that its students hold.

Meanwhile, Wall High School's yearbook advisor and technology and media teacher, Susan Parsons, was suspended.

Wall High School is located in a Trump voter stronghold. The AP reports that he received almost 63 per cent of the townships votes, despite New Jersey itself going to Hillary.
