President Donald Trump has drawn renewed criticism after sharing a social media post that focused on Muslim girls wearing hijabs during a kindergarten graduation ceremony in Minnesota. The repost revived long-running scrutiny of the president's rhetoric regarding Muslim communities, particularly Somali Americans, and brought a local school celebration to the centre of an intense national political dispute.
On Monday, 6 July, President Trump reposted a video on Truth Social originally shared by the right-wing X account 'End Wokeness'. The clip captured children from Gateway STEM Academy, a majority-Black K-8 charter school in St. Paul, celebrating their kindergarten graduation in blue caps and gowns.
