7 On Your Side was contacted by several upset parents who say Woodruff High School students were made to take down American flags from their vehicles on 9/11.
Spartanburg District 4 Superintendent Rallie Liston said four students arrived at the school Thursday morning with U.S. flags propped up on poles in their pickup truck beds.
The school's principal, Aaron Fulmer, confiscated the flags because he said it is against district policy to draw attention, to one's vehicle.
The flags were returned to the students at the end of the day.

The kids should put the flags on the inside windows of the cars next 9/11.
What you mention doesn’t surprise me.
I just think these two could have used their heads in advance of this. My comment was meant to be somewhat sarcastic.
I hope it’s a size 13 frankly. I hope it leaves a big friken mark too.
Ridiculous
“The school’s principal, Aaron Fulmer, confiscated the flags because he said it is against district policy to draw attention, to one’s vehicle. “
What horseshit
Is it just me, or do those screams for more money “for the children” sound rather hollow after a while?
I hear all these stories about dedication to the children, “Yes, it was my lifetime calling. I couldn’t do anything else it meant so much to me to dedicate my life to the children.”
Gag me with a pitchfork.
In education, I’m sorry but it seems to me in excess of $100k is simply that, excessive.
How do you justify to yourself, the extra $25, $50, $100, or more thousand dollars that comes out of the education fund, is not taking away from service to help those kids?
It’s a government job. Government funds should be spend judiciously. If you can’t live off $100k, then find another profession, and let someone who is actually dedicated to the kids take your place.
As for outside income, aren’t you being paid to be a full time educator or administrator? Then spend your time doing just that. At night, spend your time thinking of ways to improve things at the job you’re being paid to do.
If you’re sapping your strength to fulfill another job, you’re shortchanging the first job. Your creativity is being sapped for your own advancement. That isn’t right.
If you can’t live off the $100k, fine. Get another job that pays more.
Ping!
So if I park in the school lot in a bright red convertible with 24” chrome wheels, they’ll confiscate it?
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.
“America is no longer a country.”
It is now just “Land”. Land to be exploited.
This is pure insanity
yep... and conservatives continue sending their children to government schools... indoctrination centers... the results of the "public school" endeavor has rendered results exactly as expected... all according to plan... and still, conservatives participate...
I doubt that rainbow flags or Mexican flags are banned
“...Its possible that the ban on the US flag is the consequence of the decisions necessary to ban the rainbow flag, the Mexican flag, etc...”
Nope...This don’t work...The American flag is the national flag of OUR country...It can and should be proudly flown ANYWHERE in our country...
The rainbow flag means nothing nationally... The mexican flag means something...IN MEXICO...
Does the school fly the Stars and Stripes, our National Flag, on a flagpole on school grounds??????
Frankly, our efforts should be directed to dissolving the Department of Education and the entire public school system.
I have said I wouldn’t mind if the schools were closed for a full year to reorganize.
It would involve a lot of restructuring and personnel changes.
It would also involve completely reworking the materials and policies such that this nation’s history and relevancy were re-instituted into the curriculum.
It’s too detailed to cover in a short response, but it needs to be done.
Probably... just below the union flag.
Totally agree...
When Jimmy Carter started the federal Dept of Educution in 1978, he did more damage to the American education system in that one move than had happened in the previous 202 years....
the best way would be for conservatives to pull their kids out... i liken government school to government housing... no thanks! not for my family...
Not America but government liberal schools. If they were Mexican flags or ISIS flags no problem.
