Guess they wouldn’t have liked the flames and other things students had on their cars in the 50’s/60’s. That was the whole point in those days, to call attention to one’s vehicle. It’s only because the current students displayed the flag that this was an issue, can’t afford to upset the America-haters, who are probably faculty members or the ultra-liberal parents of a few kids. The ones who despise the Pledge, etc.
“And no Bongos in the back either.”
Unless your ship of love is ready to attack!
Then the principal wouldn’t appreciate me driving on to his precious school campus. I got a US AND an Israeli flag on it, also with Calvin peeing on 0bama on the back window. It’s a slightly modified 07 Chevy Cobalt, silver with black racing stripes, tined windows and a low res exhaust system, in case DHS or the secret service wants to know. Hasn’t happened yet but if some pasty faced hypersensitive sissy boy wants to start sh!t with me, in the words of Mr. T I PITY THE FOOL!!
Lawsuit.
Takings clause, 5th amendment, 1st amendment, 14th amendment.
They have no right to dictate what a car may be adorned with. It’s personal property, owned by a certain person who has that sole right.
Lawsuit..
I’m with you...this “policy” is almost surely off-the-cuff BS, conjured up by a deer-in-the-headlights principal who hadn’t expected his authority to be questioned by parents or media.
Speaking of media...is there NO journalist around any more who knows how to ask a follow-up question? Whether it’s about ISIS, Fast & Furious, Benghazi or a high school principal, it’s all the same—unless the “reporter” wants to promote his own, personal agenda, the most glaringly obvious followup questions never even occur to them.
I’m assuming, though, at least one of the parents or students has enough brains to go directly to the district superintendent and ask where this policy appears, when it was enacted, whether it’s ever been enforced before, by whom, and for what reason.
The lying principal’s “tell” comes in his statement that he’ll be meeting with the student council to discuss a policy revision. Yeah, this principal has the authority to change or ignore DISTRICT POLICY—which is what he claimed he was simply following—on his own? Right. Good luck with that.
What you have said there is so true across the board. Journalism is dead. The real thing just does not exist anymore.
"The students were not punished."
Well, aside from it being mighty white of him to SAY that, it isn't true.
He took their flags away FGS.
I'd sure like to know HOW this went down. Did this jackass make an announcement, THEN confiscated the flags?
Or was he waiting breathlessly as the students drove into the parking lot, taking them away on the spot?
+1.
