American Flag

[weepaws 2,460]

Student was told that it was against his high schools rules for him to carry an American flag in the bed of his pickup, he refused. Others came to his rescue, including a graphic design company , that for feee wrapped his pickup with the American flag.  What is wrong with America’s hating our flag? Shame

I am guessing that there is more to the story than this.

The leftist authoritarians hate what the flag and our Constitution stands for.....liberty and freedom for individuals.

The American flag might be considered offensive to the marauding invaders infesting our country.

Why guess?

If I go out for a drive and I see an American flag outside of someone’s home, I’m guessing nine times out of 10. They vote Republican. That should tell you something.

Since this link doesn't really get to the bottom of it, here's my guess: there is some sort of rule against displaying certain things on your person or vehicle. The kids actions were harmless, but some idjit had a problem with it and complained. The school district, terrified of offending someone (since everyone knows that's the worst crime that can be committed in the 2024 version of America), folded like a cheap chair and told the kid to ditch the flag.

Stupid, but all that matters is some special people see this as further evidence of the evil libs and their effects on education instead of an example of blanket rules being enforced without thought to the situation. Mission accomplished. 

My HS wouldn't allow us to wear hats on campus because someone might have the audacity to wear colors that could be connected to gang activity. In a small, rural, 99.9% white town with zero gangs. While kids had rifles in their trucks to go hunting before or after school.

Nuance is a thing we should pay attention to.

As I suspected it was rules that prohibited displaying any flag, so they were being consistent.

However, after reading from the link, I wonder if a Rainbow flag would be determined to be offensive. 

Quote

“Friday morning, after consulting with other administrators, we determined that we would allow the U.S. Flag to be displayed, and would prohibit other flags if they were determined to be offensive,” Black told WCPO 9.

Libtards love rules now. Oooof. 

[lickin_starfish 1,482]

American flags and state flags should be the only ones in classrooms. 

Any flag (even rainbow or Confederate) should be allowed on someone's personal vehicle, even if it's parked in the school parking lot.

The school parking lot is usually considered school property, not a free speech area.

I bet the sickle and hammer would be fine. Ukraine flag too.  

[Hardcore troubadour 12,653]

This too.

You think a conservative objected to the American flag in a truck?

What kind of school, could it be a public schoool, pid for by tax dollars, one where the community is frequently invited to events on the campus if not in the classrooms, you know, like sporting events, school plays and musicals, and the like?

Of course there is. It's the age old story of someone using their given rights to express their feelings. That is something that shouldn't be tolerated. God forbid   there is an opposing opinion! They should kill him in public & teach the public what happens to dissenting points of view....

Does the American Flag offend or trigger you?

Damn right Son. Hit my HOME GYM (not Planet Fitness) at 5, made the Wife Coffee and sat out on the dock watching the shrimp boats roll out. 

How's your morning GUTTERBOY?

You mean "regerts", right?

[Alias Detective 1,179]

It’s truly amazing how polar opposite the left and right are.  Quite sad really.  
 

We can’t even come to common grounds on our American Flag.

I have an American flag outside my house. Until Donald Trump is dead or imprisoned you couldn't pay me to vote R.

I fly an American flag on Memorial day, Independance day, V.E. and V.J day, Veteran's day, flag day, and election days. Otherwise  I keep it furled and stored away.  As I have no illumination for it I take it down at sunset on the days I do display it.
