I can't believe in Indiana, out of all states, a high school is telling students they can't fly American flags from their trucks in the parking lot.
Cameron Blasek attends East Central High School in St. Leon, Indiana. Every day when he shows up to school, the American Flag comes with him, fastened to the back of his truck. The flag abides by the U.S. flag code, so it shouldn't be a problem with the school, right?
I mean, it's an American flag and we live in America.
Well, on Thursday, Blasek was pulled into the office where he was asked to remove the flag from his truck. Confused, Blasek referred to the school's handbook, which made no mention of flags in the parking lot, and he told the school he would not be removing the flag.
The next day, after other students caught wind of the controversy, the parking lot was full of American Flags — and it was about as glorious as you'd imagine.
Today nearly 2 dozen high schoolers showed up to school with the American flag on their vehicles not just to support my son and their friend but to stand for what they believe in and what is right. My son was called into the office and of course after further discussion they are now recommending its removed but school will not require him to remove it. It will remain on his truck. He was also told it will be in the student handbook next year that students cannot fly the American flag.
Bro, if they change the handbook at an Indiana high school to ban the American flag in the parking lot I'll be incredibly surprised. They'll just be asking for more viral content, and they know it.
We'll meet 'em right back here in August if they wanna play games.
I'll leave you with the letter the school sent to parents:
