He should replace one with a pride flag and force the administration to say he has to remove the pride flag as well.
In Bedford county Virginia they would happily remove it. Y’all are so fricking off base here

Nothing screams American pride by flying them on a Japanese truck.

The school is enforcing this rule because they associate American Flags on people's vehicles as a symbol of white supremacy. It's as clear as day. They know it's not a fight they can win. That is why they are trying to seem patriotic by handing out flags and decals. They don't want to be the next bud light or target.

I’d be willing to bet you just about anything if you sent into the school there would be pride flags in at least some classrooms. Guess they’re not worried about students being distracted while actually in class though.


It's not about flags in classrooms. Under your logic classrooms shouldn't have American flags either because any flag is distracting.

Would it be a constitutional right for him to ferry a flag with him around school if he wanted to? Are you sure that’s a constitutional right you can never be told in a school setting to not have the flag?


They can request something to be changed but they cannot enforce it. And yes the constitution protects the gay flag.

In the left’s way of thinking the American flag represents oppression and hate. Trump was right when he said that once they took down the Confederate statues, they’d take down the Founding Father’s statues next.

I know my kid goes to a public school and has to wear a uniform.

If I sent her in an American Flag shirt the couldn't make her change?

Honestly don't know this answer.


What kind of dumbass question is this? Of course they can make her change it. If she has to wear a uniform, the school or school district obviously has a policy.

You are going to have to show me a case law where students are constitutionally allowed to carry the American flag or gay flag with them while in school.

So you are saying school policy can take away a persons ability to have the American flag?

So what if there is a policy about not flying flags or banners on your car while in the parking lot?

From reading, they are not specifically targeting the American flag. They are targeting the size. If he would use a smaller American Flag on his vehicle, he would be fine.

Some of you ppl see American flag or hear Pledge and lose all rational thought.

Use proper size American flag on vehicle and get your education.

Then why is the school flying the flag in multiple locations in the school if they believe this?

You seem like the type to be butt hurt if this story regarded a school telling a kid to remove large BLM or LGBT flags from their vehicle.

Where does it say he was walking around with it?

If they can say you can’t have a flag on your vehicle that means they could say the same thing about the model of your car. They’re violating civil law in a public setting. Cops can’t even trespass him for this.

Well you are 110% wrong. The school flies the American flag in multiple locations at the school. So clearly, they aren’t treating it like the confederate flag.

I am not even going to attempt to have a discussion/debate with you. You're just being silly or ignorant at this point. Have a nice day
