You would think that flying the American flag in America wouldn’t be controversial. But you can always count on our public institutions to disappoint us!
Edmond Public Schools in Oklahoma has been at the center of its own controversy after we exposed the school for telling a student he couldn’t fly an American flag on his car.
Edmond Schools isn’t new to controversy either.
This is the same school system that we exposed this past March for organizing feet and armpit-licking events, where students ate peanut butter off of staff members.
Shortly after the school banned the displaying of the American flag, Oklahoma State Superintendent Ryan Walters announced that he would be opening up an investigation into the school’s actions.
However, the story doesn’t end there…
A video emerged from within the school showing a teacher confiscating American flags that a student was handing out.
Shortly after we broke the story, the local Edmond community, including a Vietnam war veteran, decided to show up en masse at the school holding a patriotic rally supporting the students.
Edmond Schools has yet to make any public statement regarding the ongoing controversy while a state investigation now looms overhead.
But this isn’t the first time a student was banned from flying the American flag on their vehicle. In March, Cameron Blasek of East Central High School in Indiana was also told by his school’s administration that he couldn’t display the flag on his truck.
After a community protest, the school board of East Central High School passed a resolution affirming students’ right to display the flag on their vehicles.
Edmond Public Schools should follow suit.
Our right to Free Speech is under constant assault from big media censorship and radical leftist activists. If government institutions now decide that we can’t fly the flag that represents our nation, what else will they be able to take away from us?
Become a sub today and help me fight back against this pattern of anti-American censorship. Schools that impose radical policies must be exposed!
Why do I have the feeling that if students had been flying or handing out Palestinian flags, they wouldn't have been reprimanded?

Anything and everything.
