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.

St. Leon is a heavy Catholic community and out in the sticks. I’ve seen high school kids here in Indiana flying the confederate flag from their truck.
If you have this kind of principal in SE Indiana, then removing Tom Black is not solving the problem. There’s a 1000 more like him waiting in the wings.
I am assuming that you are calling the principle a liar......
Yes, of course. Not aimed at anyone here.
*grin* I thought so...
Burn it down.
I walked into a high school in My. Clemens, MI for a community event a few years ago. I stopped when I looked down and saw that I was standing on a piece of red fabric. I looked up and saw a flag that was about 80% frayed and missing.
What a freaking insult.
I emailed the principal the next day and reminded him that it was his responsibility to assure that the flag is maintained.
The leftist moron wrote back and asked me if I knew how to get a new flag. “Do I have to ask Congress for one?” Yea, he was that stupid.
I wrote back “You go to Walmart and buy one.”
That exchange further solidified my opinion that any parent who remotely loves they children has the duty before God to keep them out of public schools.
“SE Indiana is burb of Chicago.”
Try looking at a map sometime.

The stars in the back are reflective, so that following traffic at night are less inclined to run over me!
Let ‘em wait!
Perhaps they should not ever again be in a position where they can allow, or disallow ANYTHING for ANYONE.
That principal doesn’t allow chit. Sounds like they are singling the young man out for next year. Black needs tared and feather.
No, that would be Gary, in.
Pelosi did this when San Francisco fire trucks started displaying American flags after 9/11
