Student Makes His ENTIRE Truck A US Flag After School Told Him Not To Fly One

Will the school ban the truck?

After a student in Indiana was ordered by his high school not to fly a US flag on his pickup truck, he responded by wrapping the entire vehicle in a US flag design.

As reported by Fox 19, Cameron Blasek, a senior at East Central High School in St. Leon, Ind., was told by school administrators that the flag he was flying on his truck broke the rules and had to be taken down.

Blasek challenged the ruling and got it overturned, because you can’t order Americans not to fly the national flag in their own country.

Dozens of other students also flew American flags on their vehicles in protest of the school’s stance, and the story went viral, forcing administrators to back down.

However, the school said that they won’t allow students to fly American flags during the next school year.

In response, 17-year-old Blasek transformed his entire truck into Old Glory with a custom wrap.

GCI Digital Imaging in Cincinnati carried out the work for free, noting “We did it because we are proud Americans that believe that Cameron did exactly what needs to be done, stand up for our freedoms.”

Will the school ban the truck?

Not completely. They now say the student handbook next year will correct the oversight and prohibit display of the American Flag. I wonder who put the principal up to this? Why has he or she decided after the kid has done this for six months to make a scene of it?

Their ban was overturned, presumably by a court.

So how will the commie administrater enforce his ban next year?

“But not being in session is not excuse not to fly the flag.”

When I was in school we raised the flag just prior to the first class and lowered it just after the last class.

The school has a large American flag. Look further north into the parking lot area.

We stop short in pursuit of the almighty dollar and let these miscreants in our stores/conduct business with them.

: These 'administrators' should be fired immediately.................

I bet if he flew the LGBT "rainbow" flag from his truck, this would not have been a problem for the admin.

Go left on Trojan till you see the other entry with the parking lots and you will see the flag.

“I didn’t even see a pole.”

Because you didn’t look carefully.

This is SO COOL! Way to stick it in the eye of those stupid school “administrators.”

AND a BIG shout-out to GCI Digital Imaging in Cincinnati. They did the wrap work for free, noting “We did it because we are proud Americans that believe that Cameron did exactly what needs to be done, stand up for our freedoms.”
