School yanks U.S. flag from vehicles on 9/11 'Zero-tolerance policy' prompts confiscations from parking lot
Protest at Woodruff High School in Woodruff, S.C.
A South Carolina high school principal’s decision to confiscate American flags from students’ vehicles on 9/11 has promoted meetings this week between school officials and outraged students.
Four students came to school that day with “large American flags mounted on posts in their truck beds,” according to a GoUpdate.com report.
Fulmer took the flags down, then returned them to the students at the end of the day.
Spartanburg District 4 Supt. Rallie Liston said school officials don’t have the option to “discriminate” on an issue as fundamental as the First Amendment.READ MORE
