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!!”
I think some suing is in order to remind our school officials of who they work for… American people! Some idiot congresswoman can fly the Mexican flag at an American function but we Americans can’t… Go to hell and take your anti American attitude with you!
woodruff high school sounds like a bad school. I would take my child out.
Sorry I would have to tell them to pack sand
sorry for the language but im just done with all this bull$#%&!@*
what is with schools turning into despicable un grateful animals
Principal Aaron Fuller should be summarily fired!
I don’t believe it.
School board for that school needs to intervene in less they support this non american act then replace them all
Does the school no what the flag represents? If not maybe they should not be in the USA !!!!
They can’t do that. A clear violation of freedom of expression. School or not, they can’t ban flags from their automobiles.
