Woodruff High School students in Woodruff, SC were forced to remove American flags from their vehicles this past September 11th.
The school principal, Aaron Fulmer, confiscated the flags stating it was against their policy to “draw attention” to one’s vehicle.
Since when is our nation’s flag too obnoxious?
Woodruff, S.C. –7 On Your Side was contacted by several upset parents who say Woodruff High School students were made to take down American flags from their vehicles on September 11.
Spartanburg District 4 Superintendent Rallie Liston said four students arrived at the school Thursday morning with U.S. flags propped up on poles in their pickup truck beds.
The school’s principal, Aaron Fulmer, confiscated the flags because he said it is against district policy to “draw attention” to one’s vehicle.
The flags were returned to the students at the end of the day.
The students were not punished.
Fulmer tells us officials are meeting with student council next week to look into a possible policy revision.
Parents have contacted us to let us know about a protest that is being planned in response to the flag removal. It is set for Monday morning.
A post on Facebook reads, “PLEASE COME OUT MONDAY MORNING AMD STAND UP FOR OUR STUDENTS RIGHTS AND OUR RIGHTS! 7:50 a.m. Sidewalk in front of high school. Bring an American flag with you!!”
Tell them to go straight to HELL
Get rid of the whole school board. cut off their funds.
shame on South Carolina!
Leave the flag on your car. If the bums don,t like it , go to another school.
Yeah,, it would be ok to fly the stars and bars!
Wrong.
BS
wonder how long before they expect us to say “Jawohl, mein commandant!”
I would not think SC would have anyone like that in their school system. A lot of good old boys down there. They think things like tar and feather and ridding people out on a rail. Wonder if that could be in there future? Don’t know that I would of wanted to be part of telling them to take the flag down.
Burn that school to the ground
