The school’s principal, Aaron Fulmer, confiscated the flags because he said it is against district policy to “draw attention” to one’s vehicle.
Next they’ll outlaw burning rubber in the school parking lot.
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.
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.
