Looks like there's more to the story:

In interviews with BuzzFeed News, the Trump-supporting students from Union City High School in Pennsylvania said they were unaware Howard is a historically black college (or HBCU).

"No one asked us to take the hats off, no one told us the history of the college other than what year it was established in and who it was established by," Vandee said Tuesday.

But Eunissa Pullium, a 16-year-old student at Pennsylvania's Erie High — the other school on the trip — told BuzzFeed News the group's tour guide had informed the students Howard was an HBCU.

"Our tour guide told us it was an HBCU and everything and that's when we looked at what they were wearing and said, 'You can't wear that to a historically black college,'" said Pullium. "They just ignored it, like we didn’t say it at all."

I know people who have moved to the DMV in the last 10 years who had no idea where or what Howard University is. Nor did they know what HBCU stood for. So yea, I could see someone showing up there not knowing anything about it. Now if that's the case with these girls or the chaperones I don't know.

That seems WILDLY implausible that they accidentally went to HU's campus for lunch

Those two fools just toasted their futures. That photo will follow them for decades. Stupid.

What a hateful thing to say.

Not really. Seems pretty accurate given the context. They are not aware of or interested in the world, per their own words - what's college for them?

I agree - the first PP is accurate in her assessment. These girls will not be going to college nor could they even get into college or they would not be trolling like this.

Or they could be like me who left a town similar to their Pennsylvania town and worked as a GS-2 in the government, took classes at the Dept of Agriculture and eventually ended up with an MBA and now run a department with 137 employees. Most of these employees were like many of you who were given college tours, applied to as many schools as they wanted, had tuitions paid by parents or grandparents, had the 6 months post graduate tour of Europe, got into a top graduate program, and now work for me.

So you trolled traditionally African-American colleges wearing Nazi hats?

If that is what you understood from my post, I strongly recommend that you ask your parents why they hated you do much that they didn't raise or educate you properly.

LOL! How do you know my mom?

I don't But as I suspected, you are a victim of divorce.

OMG YOU DO KNOW MY MOM?

You were probably smarter and more worldly at 16 than these girls.

But by all means, reach out to them if you feel a kinship.

I would but I don't have time to mentor more than the seven teenagers I cuurently see. As an African American I like to help people who are in the same situation I was in 30 years ago. You might think of mentoring young white women who are in your situation 30 years ago You seem the kind, generous sort

It's nice of you to say that - but I actually don't take race into consideration when deciding who to help out. Except insofar my field has a real need for more racial and socioeconomic diversity, so we should encourage that.

Honestly, though, anyone who decides to help these girls is either going to throw them to the wolves by encouraging them to really dig in with this MAGA crap - using them as pawns in a pathetic partisan game - or else is going to be essentially performing social work. The girls don't seem particularly worthy of help, not bright or thoughtful; merely arrogant and incurious about the world around them. That's how they present themselves. I'm sure I'd have come across as a jackass at 16, too, so I am glad I didn't do anything then that would have gotten me on TV. Still, I can't see any valid reason anyone would take an interest in these kids except that they are in person trolls.

Give me a break. This is the kind of stupid false equivalence that gives Trumpkins the reputation they apparently deserve. There's no equivalence showing up at UDC with an Obama hat .... Now showing up at UDC with a MAGA hat highlighting the words that are dog whistles for "Make America White Again" and propagated by a man who is a bigoted racist is quite difference. You might not realize this, but I suspect you do and are just being obtuse.

Are you for real? It's far worse for professors at a public school to be wearing an Obama hat on duty-possibly breaking the law. It was also during an election cycle. You can hear whatever whistles you choose, that's a choice. But both are hats in support of political leader, by the way both fairly elected by the American people . Private citizens can wear whatever they want. Public servants politicking Far Worse.

Far Worse indeed! Obama was Black! Is Black still Today I think? Terrible! Kenya! Democrats Are bad. MAGA

It was as if the school just brainwashed kids all day. Mind you we all grew up UMC with professional class parents in a top suburb. They've since married and are stay at home moms who post racial crap on facebook all day.

dont worry

Infosys, Cognizant, Brillio, TATA, Wipro will not recruit from Howard. And they are not racist - DCUM has confirmed this.

Where on earth are you get this Nazi stuff? Do you see Nazi's in your cheese sandwiches?

Quit reading those rags that are filling your head full of nonsense.

So it's not surprising that white girls going to an HBU would be seeing as antagonizing people by wearing MAGA gear to HU. Out of respect to the f students of the university they were visiting, they should've kept her hat in her luggage or taking them off. Shame on the chaperones for not providing guidance to the girls.

To add, wearing MAGA hats to a HBU is similar to wearing a swastika to a private Jewish school. You need to be respectful. If you felt so important to keep your hat on, then you should've stayed in your hotel room for the Howard University trip.

MAGA hats is nothing to do with Nazi's and to assign that to Trump shows your ignorance. Whether those girls were there to get a reaction isn't even relevant. It's no different than someone wearing a Hillary or Obama hat. It's the brainwashing of the left and media who paints that falsehood. Either way, no one had the right to bother them or say anything. These kids are being taught this way, and to hate non black people. The real problem. Anyone should be able to go ANYWHERE with their political slogan or whatever. If you can't tolerate that FREEDOM get some therapy.
