A minor who was allegedly bullied for being white and supporting President-elect Donald Trump did not show he was harassed over his race, a divided federal appeals court ruled on Nov. 14 with several dissents.

The Texas boy, identified in court filings as Jon Doe or B.W., said that he was bullied by fellow students and teachers from October 2017, when he wore a “Make America Great Again” hat on a field trip, until the spring of 2020.
