An Indiana teenager was told by his high school to remove the American flag from his truck. He refused, citing school rules that do not prohibit such behavior.
When he refused to remove the flag, other students at the school attached American flags to their cars.
The school wisely chose to distance itself from the issue. Since then, the story has gone viral.

Indiana high school student comes under fire for refusing to remove American flag from truck
Indiana student Cameron Blasek, a senior at East Central High School, is speaking out after saying he was asked to remove the American flag from his truck.
„The flag itself represents this country, this beautiful country that we live in,“ Blasek said in an interview with WCPO. „It also represents the people who fought and put their lives on the line for it. I think that's a very difficult thing to talk about, but I think it's a big thing.“
Blasek said he was asked by his counselor and assistant principal to remove the American flag from his truck, but he refused.
„I said, 'No, that's not going to happen. I can’t,” Blasek said…
Blasek said he read the school's handbook and determined there were no rules preventing flags from being displayed on cars.
“I read the Essentials 2023-2024 handbook and the word ‘flag’ wasn’t even mentioned in the parking or driving section. The only section mentioned is the flag-twirling section,” he explained.
Soon after, some people placed American flags on their cars.

Good on this young man for standing up for our flag. What was the school thinking in making this an issue?
