A New York college student's hat is stirring a lot of controversy on social media.

According to the Staten Island Advance, 22-year-old Krystal Lake wore a hat to her job at Home Depot that read "America Was Never Great," a rebuttal to hats made popular by the campaign of presidential candidate Donald Trump, which read "Make America Great Again."

Lake said she wore the hat "to say America needs changing and improvement," the website reported. A Home Depot spokesperson says employees are not permitted to wear items making political statements, but Lake says co-workers have worn pro-Trump items without consequence.

While the company wouldn't comment to SILive.com if Lake's job was in jeopardy, she says she'll keep wearing the hat, despite receiving death threats on social media.
