State Senator Defends Decision

There are moments when standing your ground doesn’t look like much from the outside. No cameras, no crowds—just a quiet decision made when no one’s watching.

For decades, conservatives across this country have faced a familiar pressure: tone it down, keep it to yourself, don’t make waves. The message is always the same; your values are welcome, just not here. Not now, and not out loud.

In Littlestown, Pennsylvania, a retired police officer and now working as a school bus driver decided he was done playing that game.

Dave Bonhoff spent his mornings behind the wheel of a school bus, ferrying kids through the rural roads of Adams County. The children knew him as Mr. Dave. By all accounts, they had a good thing going, but when a student reportedly complained about the red hat Bonhoff wore—a hat bearing four simple words—everything changed.

His employer, Krise Transportation, relayed the message: the school district didn’t want him wearing his Make America Great Again hat anymore. His supervisor even offered to buy him an American flag hat as a compromise. You know, something less offensive than wanting your country to succeed.
