The school later reversed the decision.

Principal Tom Black said in a letter issued to community members on Friday, “After careful consideration and in recognition of the importance of the US flag as a symbol of unity and national identity, I am pleased to inform you that we are allowing the display of the US flag by students in the East Central High School parking lot.”

The post added that the administration told Blasek that the school’s handbook would be updated in the 2024-25 school year to say students can’t fly American flags in the parking lot.

What a freakin' idiot this principal was! Did he think it was going to end in any fashion other than mass defiance and a humiliating reversal?

And in SE Indiana, no less. Shameful.

They reversed it due to the fire storm of patriotic Americans that United to put the school board in their place.

We The People run this show and we need to put our elected officials back in their place. Right Now !

“After careful consideration...” — Principal Tom Black

Pansy-assed principal! What the hell was there to “consider.”

I’m surprised the weasel didn’t squeeze in an “Out of an abundance of caution” to go with his “consideration.”

In ats least one elementary school a teacher had to remove the American flag from a classroom because it made immigrant children in class uncomfortable seeing it.

Many more stories....

Massachusetts college stops flying US flag on campus.
CNN
Nov 23, 2016 — Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts has removed all flags from campus after a US flag being flown half-staff was burned.


Another story....
Tristan Hood, who’s studying economics at Brown after four years in the U.S. Air Force, including two tours in Iraq, was one of the people helping to set up the flags. When they noticed later that half the flags were missing, he and two other veterans went looking for them. They found some in a trash can. And they saw a handful of students ripping more flags out of the ground, tearing them up and stomping on them.

Will the school also ban the pride flag, the BLM flag, or the trans flag? We have reached a point in this country where those flags actually have more legal protection than the American flag. You can burn the American flag with impunity, but burning any of those other flags will get you charged with a hate crime.

This High School looks to be in a rural farming community. I'm sure there will be plenty of push back if this idiot principal tries this again.

"Indiana school facing backlash afterforcing student to remove American flag from truck"

The school didn't force a student to remove the flag. The principal or other school administrator forced a student to remove the flag. By now the school board should be looking for a new principal or other school administrator.

ANOTHER REASON TO HOMESCHOOL

This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)

The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.

Time to rethink compulsory education for our young citizens.

If anyone is in need of compulsory education, it is the morons running the so-called education system which in reality is a system of political indoctrination.

Methinks that communist countries like Red China and Russia have a system in which there is more education than indoctrination.

In America we have went beyond the tipping point and have more political indoctrination than education.

Our test scores in math and reading would support that claim.

Following the incident, around two dozen students rallied behind Blasek, showing up at the school with American flags on their vehicles.

And that's the way to fight the communists.

The principal and whoever initiated the complaint needs to be introduced to a wood chipper...
