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!!”
That’s some bull$#%&!@*
I love my country and I love the Red, White and Blue for which many have given their life! May it ever fly proudly!
No we need to stand up against this . This is our country and our Flag fly it every were . God. Country
I see that school believes in Islamic terrorism
Then fly a confederate flag
I am glad I don’t live there
What is wrong with displaying the American Flag. This is still America last time I looked. The school should reverse this decision now. This sounds more like an Obama decision and the work of racists, liberals and communists.
Anyone who actually believes this, is as retarded as the person who wrote it!!!
Say what?
Fire the idiots and keep the flag waving. We fought for that freedom of expression and the right to fly OUR AMERICAN FLAG IN AMERICA. Ban the toilet paper those idiots use and make them wipe there ass with there hands. Seems fair to me. My flag will not be taken. Don’t tread on me!!!!
Out rae ge ous.
