Trump protest: Junior Zoe Manoukian also attended the Donald Trump rally, but on the opposing side. Due to her dislike of Trump’s general manner and refugee policies, she decided to join a protest against him. Manoukian was surprised at the nature of some of the pro-Trump attendees who screamed at the crowd of high school students. The protesters held up signs, such as one saying, “We don’t want hate in our state.” Photo by Caroline Chidester
