A schoolgirl claims her principal forced her to cover up her MAGA hat and t-shirt leaving her 'ashamed and embarrassed' at what she said was just a patriotic display.

Ciretta Mackenzie, a freshman at Epping High School, said she was forced to borrow a friend's shirt after she was told that her 'Make America Great Again' apparel was inappropriate for the school's 'America Pride Day' celebrations.

'It's just a shirt, and it only says 'Trump: Make America Great Again,' the schoolgirl from New Hampshire told Boston25.

'It doesn't say anything like 'build a wall,' so I don't get how it could be offensive, how it could be disrespectful,' Mackenzie added.

The school's principal Brian Earnest said the red hat and T-shirt violated the school's dress code policy, which according to Mackenzie, doesn't say anything about political clothing.

'If it said no political gear, I could understand why it was dress code, but it didn't say that, so I feel like I'm obligated to have my own opinion and other people can have theirs,' she said. 'We don't have to agree, that fine.'

Ciretta said that she was ashamed after being asked to cover up and was upset by some classmates' comments.

The Epping High School superintendent said two students were asked to change what they were wearing that day

'Some kids are making [me] feel like I'm uneducated and a bad kid for believing what I want to believe, and that's not right,' she added to WFXT.

She added that she felt 'upset' and 'surprised' after the principal told her that Trump is a controversial president so he didn't want to make people feel uncomfortable.

The teen responded that Trump is still the President.

The Epping High School superintendent said two students were asked to change what they were wearing that day.

'The school was celebrating 'America Pride Day' as part of its spirit month.
