American flag stirring controversy at York County high school Coleen Harry May 13, 2015 10:47 PM YORK COUNTY, NC (WBTV) - In Peyton Robinson's eyes, the American flag should be displayed. But at his school, York Comprehensive High School, the senior ran into a problem because he was displaying the flag on his pick-up.

"Just proud to be an American," the 18-year-old told WBTV. Robinson said a school administrator told him remove the American flag and the POW-MIA flag, which he has in the back of his truck.

"He said we're having some issues. Some people were complaining about the flags in your truck, possibly offend them. He asked me to take it down," Robinson said.

Does anyone want to explain to these people, that the Bill of Rights does not guarantee these people the right to go through life without being offended?

Let’s no longer sugar the truth and start going on the attack for once in these culture wars!

Any time any wimpy school administrator or whoever starts whining about the flag potentially offending someone, the standard response should be:

“That’s their problem. If the American flag offends them so much, they should be in a country that doesn’t display it. Attacking my right to fly my own flag in my own country is offensive to me.”

Surely U.S. Dollars must offend these commie bastards too. No dollars should be sent to that sh*thole.

I’m offended by that remark :)

The great and possibly downfall causing thing about America, is the freedom to hate the country you live in and still thrive because of that sacrifices of the past, while not having to worry about being arrested

If I’m told to remove it, I will punch them in the face.

He said we're having some issues. Some people were complaining about the flags in your truck, possibly offend them.

Name and shame and if you're an 'educator' prove it by discontinuing your silly, cowardly nonsense.

I’m thinking big speakers playing “The Star-Spangled Banner” and big flashing lights.

But the 18 year old said before the school day was over on Wednesday, a school official went to Robinson's parked truck, removed the bolts that secured the flags to the truck, took the flags down, and "laid my flags down in the middle of my truck when I wasn't even there."

Can he press charges against this school official for vandalizing his truck?

Anyone who’s ‘offended’ should be sent to Syria and dropped off in the desert.

Our First Amendment guarantee of Free Speech is the guarantee of the right to offend. It would serve no purpose if it were the right to conform to politically correct speech and norms.

Truth be told, it was probably the school administrator who was offended.

I agree with you — if they are offended, leave. Real Americans would be proud of this young man. I’m proud of him.
