Woodruff HS Students Made To Remove American Flags From Vehicles
WSPA (Spartanburg, SC) ^ | 9/14/14

Posted on 09/15/2014 12:04:00 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

Woodruff, S.C. - 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 September 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 students were not punished.

Fulmer tells us officials are meeting with student council next week to look into a possible policy revision.

Parents have contacted us to let us know about a protest that is being planned in response to the flag removal. It is set for Monday morning.

A post on Facebook reads, "PLEASE COME OUT MONDAY MORNING AMD STAND UP FOR OUR STUDENTS RIGHTS AND OUR RIGHTS! 7:50 a.m. Sidewalk in front of high school. Bring an American flag with you!!"

Very nice! It’s a Crown Vic, too... looks like an ex-police car, too, with what looks like an old light bar on the roof.

Excellent idea. I don’t own a boob-toob but I’d buy one to watch that!

Do not draw attention to your vehicle. From now on all vehicles driven by students must conform to a uniform policy of appearance.

A lot of sick commies in education.
Is it any wonder the quality of US education is plummeting while the cost of education necessarily skyrockets?

Could some Woodruff, SC FReepers roam the school parking lot and take pictures of vehicles with items that “draw attention” and post them? I’m curious to what all is overlooked by these same school administrators.

Student cars will be banned altogether, they pollute the environment, take up real estate, and some students cannot afford a car or get one from their parents.

Yep, this story was posted late last week. Same day the story about the Arkasnas university made their football players remove the Cross stickers from their helmets, which they’d placed there to honor a deceased teammate. And the same day some school in California banned their booster club from selling Chick-Fil-A sandwiches.

Every day, more and more examples of people cowardly caving to the most ludicrous PC pressures. Always used to think Americans had too much grit, too much vinegar, in them to be such cowering rabbits, caving to all this abject nonsense. I see all this constant capitulation nowadays (even in places now like SC and AR!), and I realize what an incredibly weak people and an incredibly weak nation we have become. This sure as hell isn’t the America of just a few decades back, much less the country that fought WW2 or the Cold War.

Back in the late 80s while in the people’s high school, I had an old 77 CJ5 with the 304 and headers. It also had 33 inch tires and a slightly slipping clutch.

One afternoon at the end of indoctrination, there was a guy spinning his sports car (maybe a Camero) in plain view. It was a favorite football player I think.

Anyway one of the vice principals ran up to me and accused me. I wasn’t even cranked. My fat tires couldn’t have made those thin tire marks. Didn’t matter to Mo-Ron Ron. I was threatened with this and that.

The next day, the other vice principal who was fairly normal and level headed talked to me and I gave him the rundown plus a few witnesses. I never heard another word.

If every car had a flag every day then none of them are drawing attention.

“draw attention”
Looks like the principal is the one drawing attention.

he said it is against district policy to “draw attention” to one's vehicle...

What about drawing attention to one's school...

I’ll repeat what I said the first time: this car thing is an attack on masculinity as much as patriotism. What red blooded American guy doesn’t want to draw attention to his car? Whereas most teachers drive asexual little eunuch cars like the Prius.
