A video shows a student, identified as 18-year-old Kenneth Dewayne, confronting a white student wearing a MAGA hat and wearing a “Trump 2020” banner as a cape, in what appears to be a hallway inside the high school.
“Take it off already,” Dewayne can be heard saying in the video, “Take it off, or I’ll rip it off.”
The video shows the underage student attempting to walk away, which resulted in the 18-year-old student grabbing a hold of his banner to stop him from leaving, and knocking his MAGA hat off of his head.

He received instant justice just a week after the attack!
The student was reportedly charged with assault and battery this week after an altercation with a classmate wearing a “Make America Great Again” hat and one of President Trump’s banners as a cape.
The charges against Kenneth Dewayne Jones, 18, were filed in a municipal court in Edmond, Okla., city attorney Steve Murdock told Oklahoma’s Enid News and Eagle.
Edmond Public Schools officials released a statement that read, “The school district honors students’ First Amendment rights but must, at the same time, be vigilant in teaching and supporting students as they learn how best to respectfully express their opinions.”
The 18-year-old boy told KOCO 5 that he planned to apologize.
I was just notified that they are wearing vests and other costumes because it is a special fundraising week where students dress in costumes on different days.
