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!!”

sucks
This is ridiculous! It was drawing attention to their vehicles? BS!! It shows patriotism on a day that every American should have been displaying a flag. This country has gone to hell under B.O.’s leadership. The only people being offended these days are true Americans. I for one & sick of it!
Fire the staff and Woodruff High School. They act like some New England liberals. They are an embarrassment to SC.
wow I think that is part of Trey’s constituency
Fire school board and find out what country they are from could not be US. Any one that does not like our flag needs to go to middle east.
This is still American
Got to be joking. These schools should be closed down and all who runs it should be jailed for being traitors to the United States.
We show our flags to support our country we are in a war right now may god bless America
