School district issues email clarifying flag ban

My Fox Memphis

UPDATE Monday 8 a.m.:

Sunday night, the Dickson County School District sent an email to FOX13 to set the record straight about a story we first brought you this weekend.

School leaders in Dickson County decided, after a summer of controversy surrounding the confederate flag, the wise thing to do would be to ban all flags and banners.

They now say they are not banning all flags at school, they are only banning flags from flying on the back of pick-up trucks on school property.  

FOX13 will bring you the latest on this if any additional details develop.

(earlier story)

A Tennessee school district is banning all flags, including Old Glory.

School leaders in Dickson County decided, after a summer of controversy surrounding the confederate flag, the wise thing to do would be to ban all flags and banners.

Some students are angry as they feel their patriotism is being compromised.

School leaders said there is a right and wrong way to show American pride:

“It’s not an unpatriotic act by any means because we have a number of ways in which students do learn how to be patriotic and express American pride.”

One student said, “I just think that’s a right…it’s freedom of expression and I don’t think you should be able to take that away from us.”

Students said they were told they would get kicked out if they bring an American flag onto school property.

So far, school leaders say they haven’t had any issues.

  1. Home School your kids, and then go out and buy them a pick up truck and a bunch of Confederate flags and F^@k with that school every day at 4 pm by driving by but not entering the parking lot

    LOL

    these people are having their 1st amendment right squashed ,, dont play

  2. “A Tennessee school district is banning all flags, including Old Glory.”

    Soon to be replaced by the hammer & sickle, no doubt.

    “Students said they were told they would get kicked out if they bring an American flag onto school property.”

    Best possible scenario for them.

    “So far, school leaders say they haven’t had any issues.”

    We won’t have any issues with hanging your commie @sses either.

  3. Oh brother…… 🙄 Enough with the flag shit. They’ve already found a way to attack and ruin Independence Day this summer like they did last year with the fireworks. It’s become a common tradition for them to destroy it a little more in order to continue reminding us all that we are their slaves. (I wonder what they’ll try and do next year) Just like the 9/11 shit which I’m sure we’ll be hearing about OVER AND OVER again in another week or two as if it was the new Zionist Holohoax being reported all over again with their infamous, “Never again” line.
