\nA New Jersey teen was shocked to learn the navy blue Donald Trump \u201cMake America Great Again\u201d T-shirt he wore on picture day was censored from his high school\u2019s yearbook.
Grant Berardo, 17, a junior at Wall Township High School, flipped through the yearbook Wednesday and found that his T-shirt was blacked-out by the removal of Trump\u2019s signature slogan.
\u201cWe didn\u2019 t have a dress code, \u201d the student told NJ.com . \u201cThe senior (boys) have to wear black jackets and ties, but the underclassmen don\u2019 t have a dress code.\u201d
Grant believes his Trump’s T-shirt was Photoshopped and he expressed disappointment over its alteration when he showed his parents the yearbook.

„I like Trump, but it\u2019s history too, \u201d the teen told the Asbury Park Press . \u201cWearing that shirt memorializes the time.“
Wall Schools Superintendent Cheryl Dyer said in a statement that the district is investigating the matter.
\u201cThere is nothing in Wall Township High School\u2019s student dress code that would prevent a student from expressing his or her political views, or support for a political figure, via appropriate clothing and attire, \u201d Dyer said. \u201cIndeed, the administration applauds students for becoming involved in politics, making their voices known, and taking an active part in our democracy.\u201d
Dyer told the Daily News high school administrators were not aware of the issue until the yearbooks were distributed, adding that she\u2019s taking \u201cthis very seriously and it will be addressed appropriately.\u201d

She stressed the school district wasn\u2019 t involved in the alteration of Berardo\u2019s T-shirt.
However, Grant\u2019s father, Joseph Berardo Jr., told the Asbury Park Press he wants the yearbooks to be recalled and will pursue legal action.
\u201cI don\u2019 t understand the censorship, \u201d the father told the newspaper. \u201cI think it was probably politically motivated.\u201d<\/p>\n
