Have you seen this? Beauty queen stripped of her title for political opinions.
Apparently Kathy Zhu, who was born in China and immigrated to the U.S. with her parents when she was five, was dumped for holding what pageant organizers consider to be out-of-the-mainstream opinions about hijabs, black on black crime and other “insensitive” statistics.
Miss World America's State/National/Chief Director accused me of being racist, Islamaphobic, and insensitive.

They stripped me of my Miss Michigan title due to my refusal to try on a hijab in 2018, my tweet about black on black gun violence, and "insensitive" statistical tweets. pic.twitter.com/K1Btho0Pgq
Laurie DeJack, Miss World America Michigan state director, notified Kathy of her defrocking for behavior unbefitting a beauty queen; i.e., having an opinion:
"It has been brought to the attention of Miss World America that your social media accounts contain offensive, insensitive and inappropriate content, and in violation of MWA's Rules and Conditions, specifically the contestant requirement of 'being of good character and whose background is not likely to bring into disrepute Miss World America or any person associated with the organisation'."
Submitted without comment, further evidence of Ms. Zhu’s racism:
Only in America could an émigré from a real totalitarian regime be stripped of a title she earned for the sole crime of exercising her First Amendment rights.
Meanwhile, our other beauty queen eschewed her usual frocks in protest of Ms. Zhu’s plight and donned a pant suit instead to greet members of the U.S. Special Olympic team at the White House.
VSGPDJT and V.P. Pence look pretty snappy too, but nobody hits a navy blue suit out of the park quite like our FLOTUS.
