A Prince William County high school student told the county School Board he would like students to be more tolerant of others, especially when it comes to political beliefs.

Palmer Denny, 17, a Junior at Colgan Senior High School, recently performed a study at his school. He wore the hat with the words "Trump 2024: Take America Back." He spoke about the study at the January 12 School Board meeting.

He received multiple responses from his peers in school -- everything from nasty comments to death threats. He logged each one as part of his research.
