This is the moment a Florida teenager was told to remove his Make America Great Again cap before a school aide allegedly removed the item from his head for him when he didn't comply.
Gunnar Johansson, 14, said students at his Hidden Oaks Middle School were allowed to wear a hat on Tuesday.
In a surveillance video clip released by police after the teenager's mother reported the incident, a bus aide tells him: 'Boy, if you don't take that hat off this bus… take it off.'

Police were investigating a recorded incident where a school bus aide allegedly removed a boy's cap after he refused to take it off
As she repeatedly orders him to remove the cap, the youngster is heard challenging the helper, 'Why? Already?'
When another student seemingly chimes in him she tells them: 'Calm down and mind your business.'
When she asks him if he wants her to report his behavior he replies, 'yes' then asks: 'I'm in trouble for that? Are you serious?'
She says 'yes' and persists in telling Johansson to put the cap in his backpack: 'Don't put that back on.'
He told WPTV he chose that particular attire for his day of classes 'to show my pride in Trump America'.
Gunnar Johansson, 14, said a school aide told him to remove his Make America Great Again cap Tuesday during a Florida school bus ride
Johansson says he didn't understand why he was being ordered to take off the headgear with a slogan often used by President Donald Trump.
'I was really confused, I was like "I can't wear this?", he told the news station in an interview. The child alleges she pulled the cap off after he dared her to report him for not following her instructions.
'She, like, threatened me with a referral and threatened to turn the bus around. I said 'write me up, I didn't do anything wrong', and then she yanked my hat off. It was crazy,' the teen recalled during the TV chat.
Although he says he continued the journey without wearing his beloved cap, he told his mother about the incident ASAP when he joined classmates in texting their respective parents during the ride.
Noting other students wearing hats weren't asked to remove theirs, it outraged Johansson's mother so much she marched down to the school immediately after hearing from Johansson's brother and others who attend the school.
'I needed to know what my son just went through and what she did to my son,' Jackie Putt proclaimed in the family's TV appearance.
She said she got her son to write down everything he went through during the incident after speaking to the school principal who didn't make the recording immediately available to her because the school hadn't finished investigating.

The parent then requested cops launch an investigation in order to make the recording available.
'The district is aware of the family's allegations. We're taking it very seriously. We're in the process of gathering all the facts right now,' Martin County School District Director of Safety and Security, Frank Frangella, said.
But now it's something law enforcement is spending time probing.
'The crux of our investigation will be the interaction directly, physically with the child and how that panned out,' Martin County Lieutenant Ryan Grimsdale said.
The department said they'd be interviewing witnesses and analysing the video.
Johansson told law enforcement she told him to 'never wear that nonsense on this bus again'.
Johansson and witnesses text their parents about the incident, as did his brother (right)
Jackie Putt said in the TV appearance about her reason for marching to school and getting police involved: 'I needed to know what my son just went through and what she did to my son'
Putt said she believed her son being asked to take the hat off was politically motivated. 'We all have a right to who we want to vote for, this is America,' she said.
Johansson said other students wore Make America Great Again hats that day.
Children were allowed to wear hats on the condition they donated to mother and baby organization March of Dimes. There's no policy about wearing attire with political messages at the school.
TCPalm.com said the bus aide told police: 'I was personally offended…I totally regret doing this.'
The police report might have come as a shock for the helper as she wrote in a witness statement: 'I do not have a problem with Gunnar. We have always gotten along, and I am sorry for what I did and I hope he forgives me.'
Johansson said she hadn't been seen on the bus since Tuesday.
School district spokeswoman Dianne Falls said Friday: 'To protect the integrity of the investigation, we cannot comment beyond that.'
Martin County School District Director of Safety and Security, Frank Frangella, said they were taking allegations 'very seriously'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
