I think we all.know there would be no controversy, if someone wanted to fly the rainbow flag symbol of homosexuality. Its the American flag school administration objects to. Why in the heck would they object to our flag???
Its going to be a never ending fight to save this nation.
Well, it IS improper to fly a flag from the back of a vehicle. Anything that could make it dirty or torn is taboo.
I wish firefighters would stop doing that. Full-size flag on the back of a truck - flails out to hit other things, and drags on the truck, and gets exhaust.
Well-intentioned, but not full respect.
Whoever told him he couldn’t needs to be unemployed. Immediately. Whoever defends the person making the decision needs to be unemployed as well or impeached. Immediately.
Can’t we coexist?
The flags are too large to be where the young man put them
He’s looking for publicity—and he got it.

Who was THE “school official” who made this call? Find out her name and get her fired.
And God bless the students who have arisen in defense.
Democrats are dumping foreigners into the us that depend on govt help Or protection, as they cant convinceactual americans to vote for them in a nationwide majority.
Good its time kids learned that freedom isn’t free.
Article says the Superintendent decided that the flags were a driving safety hazard and had them removed.
I don’t know the law where this occurred, but here in California that’s called “tampering with a motor vehicle,” and since this a$$hole isn’t a LEO, he would be breaking the law.
This is in NORTH CAROLINA, people. Basketball took precedence over politics. While you were sleeping, they were creeping. Time is running out. Fight soon, or condemn your children to fourth rate status in a third world country.
However their is a group of lads, with 4 X 4's with lift kits and I am not sure he graduated last year but one lad flew Old Glory and the Gadsden flag and wore an air Calvary Hat... They didn't give him any crap...
Web sites like that make me SO grateful that Free Republic will never ever have advertisers or tracking or spam or pop-ups.
No problem for the La Raza crowd to fly the Mexican flag.
It is a start - Wolverines
What's that old line....
Those that do....do
Those that can't do ....teach
Those that can't teach ....administrate.
“Do [sic] to the outstanding display of patriotism through peaceful demonstration, it is apparent to us that many are not happy about this policy,” the school said in a statement...”
Really?? These ignorant a##es used the word “do” here? And they’re supposed to be in education?? And they also think they can “legislate” outside of their little school walls and dictate how people will live?
Peyton, you are witnessing liberalism. You and the fellow students can help fight liberalism by voting for conservatives. You are the future of America, the flag represents freedom that veterans fought for. You are in a fight for the freedom to fly your flag on school property.

To be clear: Kudos to his correction of the 'policy'. But it should never have happened; it started as 'offensive'. AND the slime that unbolted the flag from the student's truck should be fired.
