FAKE photos!

Parents at a New Jersey high school are outraged that their kids’ yearbook photos were Photoshopped to remove pro-Trump slogans on their clothing.

One student at Wall High School had the “TRUMP Make America Great Again” motto deleted from his T-shirt, while a junior classmate had his fleece “Trump” vest sanitised. A third student, the freshman class president, was stunned to see that her selected quote — a Trump utterance — never made it to print.

“I want all the yearbooks reissued. Everybody gets a brand-new yearbook,” fumed Joseph Berardo, whose 17-year-old son, Grant, donned the Trump T-shirt on picture day last fall.

“And I want a letter from the administration explaining why the yearbooks are being reissued, and it should be used as a teaching moment related to the First Amendment in civil discourse,” the father added.

Another student had his Trump vest sanitised.

Berardo bought $US110 ($146) worth of photos of Grant in his “historic” T-shirt, but the Trump slogan was gone when his son received his yearbook on Thursday.

The dad said he made sure there were no dress-code restrictions before Grant wore the MAGA shirt. “It was the first election he took an interest in, and it was an interesting way to memorialise it,” the disappointed father said.

Berardo noted that a student wearing a New Jersey Devils shirt and a kid in a Led Zeppelin tee weren’t censored. Neither was a student in a Reagan-Bush shirt who appeared in a candid group shot. He also recalled Barack Obama T-shirts in past yearbooks.

“I don’t think there was a deep-seated plot here, but I think there’s a yearbook committee and a yearbook adviser, and somewhere in the mix someone or several people decided to censor three students,” Berardo said. “The fact that the committee found it OK to censor the president’s name or anything that wasn’t offensive is just wrong.”

Berardo told The Post he has a scheduled sit-down with Principal Rosaleen Sirchio and yearbook adviser Susan Parsons on Monday.

Parsons told The Post, “We have never made any action against any political party.” When asked if she knew who scrubbed the Trump images, she said, “I’m going to hang up.”
