A high school in southeastern Indiana came under fire on Thursday after forcing a student to remove an American flag from his vehicle.
The student’s mother relayed the events in a social media post.
Cameron Blasek, a senior at East Central High School in St. Leon, was called into the principal’s office on Thursday and was told to remove the flag or be written up for insubordination.
The post says that after being told to take the flag off his truck, he pulled out the school’s handbook and “pointed out that nowhere in the handbook does it mention the word flag or that you can not have a flag on your vehicle.”
Blasek also cited federal law, which says it is legal to fly the American flag as long as safety laws are followed.
Following the incident, around two dozen students rallied behind Blasek, showing up at the school with American flags on their vehicles.

Make that the whole planet.
Probably a good place for Cincinnati refugees to go.
Or it WAS a good place.
Get all school employees out of the USA. Problem solved by MtnClimber.
I am in NW Indiana, one of the spots of blue in red Indiana. We are a suburb of Chicago. My town, home to the Midwest’s largest oil refinery, went 66% for anti-oil Biden.
Not before he has his car painted like the flag:
...and the glass etched too, like this window decal:
I'm sure the students could do a rough job in an hour or two.
Yes I know that area. I had a part time job in Whiting. And enjoyed many lunch events at Phil Schmidt’s.
>>Pansy-assed principal! What the hell was there to “consider.”
I imagine he was considering that his phoney baloney job and gold-plated pension were on the line.
I am so confused for sure! It’s been a long time since I left Illinois, 1997 to be exact.
If you know Phil Shmidt’s, then you know NW Indiana! I still miss the place.
Yes!!! NW, whiting, Gary etc.
18 now, but maybe he could run on the ballot to elect him as school board member or leader.
“After careful consideration and in recognition of the importance of the US flag as a symbol of unity and national identity, I am pleased to inform you that we are allowing the display of the US flag by students in the East Central High School parking lot.”
He had to CAREFULLY CONISDER it, huh?
*facepalm*
The post added that the administration told Blasek that the school’s handbook would be updated in the 2024-25 school year to say students can’t fly American flags in the parking lot.
The school did not say in the letter if flying flags in the parking lot would be banned next school year.
......
That seems wrong
When I was in school, there was an American flag in every classroom abd we pledged allegiance to it each morning.
I guess that’s gone the way of designated girls and boys restrooms?
“I am pleased to inform you that we are allowing the display of the US flag by students in the East Central High School parking lot.”
We don’t need you to allow us to do anything you POS. Flying the American flag is non negotiable. However the fag flags should all be burned up or shredded.
keep the school lose the principle
“I imagine he was considering that his phoney baloney job and gold-plated pension were on the line.”
Exactly right. Nobody can ever lay it on the line these days.
A little white girl in Hazelwood, MO was just murdered by a mob of murderous, violent blacks at her high school. It’ll be nothing but “motive unclear.” Again, nobody will tell the truth.
Between violent criminals from south of the border walking in illegally murdering our children and violent black mobs declaring open season on all whites and murdering our children, we are in a world of hurt.
“...the school’s handbook would be updated in the 2024-25 school year to say students can’t fly American flags in the parking lot...”
Right there he said that next year the handbook would say NO American flags in the parking lot...
Liar. The handbook is NOT the principal’s call. The parents can stop this freedom blocking now. Some people “in charge” need to get the boot.
The “immigrant children” should have been told to go back to whatever $hithole country they came from if they didn’t like seeing the flag.
