High school Trump backer sues over revoked permit

A high school student is suing his central Florida school district after his parking pass was revoked when he refused to remove a large elephant statue painted to promote President Donald Trump from the bed of his pickup truck.

Tyler Maxwell, 18, said that his grandfather gave him the elephant before the 2016 election. He helped his father paint it as a red, white and blue Trump display four years ago.

“The question is should a student have to give up his free speech right when he drives onto school property. The answer to that is no, and the school just needs to realize that,” said Tyler’s attorney, Jacob Heubert.

Volusia County Public Schools said the school board has an obligation to provide neutral campuses.
