Outlawed in America: The American Flag

Photo Credit: WNDI’m old enough to remember when the big controversy surrounding American flags was whether or not we should make it illegal for dim-bulb protesters to burn them in public. There was quite a bit of energy behind flag-burning bans for a while there. Instead, it has become illegal to display an American flag, at least in certain places and times.

For example, you’d better not fly the Stars and Stripes at Woodruff High School in South Carolina, especially on September 11. WSPA News reports:

Several people SHOWED up with American flags to protest Woodruff High School’s decision to make students remove flags from their vehicles.

On September 11, four students SHOWED up at the school with U.S. flags flying from their vehicles. The flags were confiscated after officials said it was against school district policy to “draw attention” to one’s vehicle. The flags were returned at the end of the day and the students were not punished.

Parents who were upset with the decision went to social media to voice their opinion. They also planned the protest, which took place Monday morning.
