<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nMary sends us a story that someone sent to her about a high school student who got a $10 parking ticket for flying an illegal flag on his car. That flag was the POW\/MIA flag;<\/p>\n
I am only 17 I don’t know everything but my dad raised me to know right from wrong and this is just a new level of low! They say we can only fly American, state, or school flag. But what I don’t understand is why I can fly an American flag but I can’t show my support for our troops. And this wasn’t the first day I’ve flew the flag I’ve been flying it for a week or two….<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Easley High School in South Carolina, where this happened, was in the national news recently when they forbade American flags on students’ vehicles on school property. According to the local news<\/a>, they have a policy now;<\/p>\n
Below is the statement that school officials say was sent to parents:<\/p>\n
“It has been the practice at EHS since the beginning of this school year to ask students to secure any flags or poles on vehicles before they came onto school property or left their cars. This was an effort to prevent the possible damage to personal property while on school grounds. On Thursday, August 27, a student requested that a staff member help in the removal of a zip tie. This has been incorrectly reported as a staff member damaging a flag. Several parents and students did ask about the reasoning and correctly pointed out that an American flag should be allowed to fly at any time. The procedure was changed to allow the American, State, and School flags. Students were notified on the same day.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
