WOODRUFF, S.C. – A number of students at Woodruff High School decided to remember the September 11th terrorist attacks by flying American flags on their trucks in the school parking lot.
That move violated a school policy banning students from drawing an “unusual amount of attention to oneself.”
GoUpstate.com reports:
The four students came to school on 9/11 with large American flags mounted on posts in their truck beds. [Principal Aaron] Fulmer removed the flags from their trucks and returned them at the end of the school day.
Fulmer wanted them removed from the students’ vehicles. He was just enforcing a “long-standing district policy,” he says.
“We all love America and support our country and our flag. We value our veterans, but we also understand that they fought for the First Amendment, and when we get into the First Amendment, we can’t discriminate,” District 4 superintendent Rallie Liston says, according to the paper.
