This story is crazy.
It would appear Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists.

Analysis Summary
A 15-year-old Sikh student says Trump administration officials running the Presidential 1776 Award civics competition marked his correct answers as wrong, costing him a finalist spot. The family suspects this was because of his Sikh background and visible turban. News outlets have reported on the family's concerns and the opaque judging process, but there's no verified proof that Trump officials intentionally rigged the competition to exclude him. The scoring irregularities are documented, but whether they resulted from deliberate discrimination or mistakes remains unclear.
Claims Analysis (1)
“Trump admin officials rigged their nationally televised high school civics contest to keep a young man from a Sikh family out of the finalists”
Multiple outlets report the family's allegation and evidence of suspicious scoring (answers marked incorrect that appeared correct). NOTUS and Raw Story document the case. However, no Trump admin official has admitted rigging, and 'rigged' remains the family's interpretation of unexplained scoring decisions rather than proven misconduct.
