Peyton Robinson said he got the bad news from a school administrator Wednesday morning.
The 18-year-old senior at York Comprehensive High School was told he wasn’t allowed to fly his American flag and POW-MIA flag in the bed of his pickup truck.

So Robinson hit his Facebook page Wednesday and let everybody know what was happening — and fellow students quickly took up the cause, driving back to school that night with flags flying from their vehicles.
“I’ll keep fighting,” Robinson told WSOC Wednesday night. “I’m not letting it go; I won’t go down without a fight.”
Students also vowed to fly flags Thursday morning at school in solidarity with Robinson — and more than 70 vehicles equipped with waving flags pulled into the school parking lot.
A crowd stood on the roadside and cheered them on, and what appeared to be a group of veterans saluted at the school’s entrance as they rode in.

I think we all.know there would be no controversy, if someone wanted to fly the rainbow flag symbol of homosexuality. Its the American flag school administration objects to. Why in the heck would they object to our flag???
Its going to be a never ending fight to save this nation.
Well, it IS improper to fly a flag from the back of a vehicle. Anything that could make it dirty or torn is taboo.
I wish firefighters would stop doing that. Full-size flag on the back of a truck - flails out to hit other things, and drags on the truck, and gets exhaust.
Well-intentioned, but not full respect.
Because they want the crescent or the hammer and sickle.
Whoever told him he couldn’t needs to be unemployed. Immediately. Whoever defends the person making the decision needs to be unemployed as well or impeached. Immediately.
Can’t we coexist?

It’ll end when Antichrist stands on the Ark.

The flags are too large to be where the young man put them
He’s looking for publicity—and he got it.

Who was THE “school official” who made this call? Find out her name and get her fired.
And God bless the students who have arisen in defense.

And those 18 year olds signed up for that fight. God bless them! Beautiful kids saluting and honoring a beautiful flag! This makes me so happy.
Just get a Soviet flag and fly that when on campus, and when you cross the property line and re-enter the USA, fly the American flag! /s;)
Democrats are dumping foreigners into the us that depend on govt help Or protection, as they cant convinceactual americans to vote for them in a nationwide majority.
.
What do you think are the odds on that happening?

Good its time kids learned that freedom isn’t free.
i read somewhere yesterday,i think,that kids local area paper,someone went to the truck and dismantled the flag set up and placed it in the bed of the truck...That would have set me OFF
.
Hoo-Rah!
I am sure it would be fine with them if people flew Muzzie flags too, but who knows why they object to the U.S. flag? Until I hear otherwise, I will just assume they hate America. What else can it be?
