Public Schools Ban Students From Displaying Flags On Cars Since when did touting the American flag become a crime in this country? The flag is intended to be a symbol of the United States unity, courage, and freedom. Now, it is being a deemed racists, or a threat to others. Now, citizens are finding themselves being asked to take their flags down, or face fines amounting to thousands of dollars. The worst part? Students are being told that showing pride for your country is wrong. According to WSPA of Spartanburg, the station received several complaints from parents of a local high school after a group of students had flags confiscated by school authorities. According to reports, four students had flags on poles in their pickup truck beds in honor of September 11. Principal Aaron Fulmer decided to take possession of them, and did not return them until the end of the day. While Fulmer claims that the school is discussing a possible police revision, the students violated a current policy that prohibits them from drawing attention to their vehicles. Fulmer argues that the students were not punished, but it seems odd that it would even be a question that young Americans would be in trouble for flying a flag. What do you think? Is banning the American flag just wrong?
