The hat was not the problem and the students and chaperones should have been allowed in. If they started harassing other patrons or staff, then they should have been escorted out.

Coming from a huge rally, I can understand the intent to keep things civil inside any and all surrounding businesses, but just wearing a hat should not be enough to exclude anyone.
