I’m sorry, I thought this was America? It seems like every school year there’s a new backlash after a school tries to tell students that they aren’t allowed to fly the American flag from their vehicles. It’s not a good look, it never ends well for the school…why do they keep doing it? And more importantly, who are these kids hurting by flying the stars and stripes (the same flag that was in literally every classroom when I was in school…and I assume still is). But anyway, it’s happened again. And spoiler alert: It didn’t end well for the school. According to
, East Central High School in Indiana called senior Cameron Blasek to the principal’s office and told him he would have to remove the American flag that he had flying from his truck – a flag that Cameron said he’s had on there all year. And he refused:
“The school came to me and told me, ‘You got to remove this flag. Otherwise, you’re going to get written up for insubordination.’ I kind of just told them straight up from the get-go, that’s not going to happen. I read them their own handbook and all their guidelines and Indiana state laws and everything that shows I’m perfectly legal and fine to fly that flag.”
