South Carolina school dislikes America

[Erythropoietin]

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3083005/Outrage-South-Carolina-high-school-students-told-teachers-remove-flag-trucks-offensive.html

Synopsis: The short story is a 18 year old senior at a South Carolina high school was asked to remove his American flag off his truck after school officials told him it was offensive and had complaints. they later said it was a "driving" hazard preventing others from seeing but no one has complained about before. But it seems that in this particular city or town school administers can just go ahead with out your permission or you even being at your truck to take it down. yep a school official took it upon himself to unbolt the teens flag from his truck and lay down in the trucks bed. but the school did an about face and let the kid keep his flag after people backed the kid and more then 70 trucks and cars flying flags came to the school while be saluted by veterans and others along the road near the school

if that were me I would have punched the guy not because of the flag but because he removed something from my vehicle when he didn't have permission to do so in the first place.

This ain't Deja Vu. At least not in South Carolina. Taking down a US flag in somewhere like MA or Cali would be deja vu, but this has got to be a first in the South.

Given that the source it the Daily Mail I expect this story is a load of lies.

Because driving hazards clearly mean South Carolinians are all Benedict Franklins.

Bad enough we get ribbed for that disastrous war in the 1860s.

They took the flag down then, too. Coincidence?!?

[The Northern British Alliance]

That guy gonna get lynched by people in sheets?

[Nirvash Type TheEND]

Nope. Political correctness is not out of control. Nosiree.

[Benuty]

Oh look stereotyping.

Is toothpaste worth its weight in gold in the British Isles?

[Prussia-Steinbach]

This sort of nationalism is starting to frighten me.

Got to love the fact this is a non-issue.

No, it would be unusual in MA.

Speaking of Massachusetts someone just got a death sentence (its in the link I posted about this story Ironically).

you know I'm surprised no one posted that tune with peter griffin if you know what I mean.

Yeah, that's unusual too, and I don't really agree with it.

[Prussia-Steinbach]

what do you mean by frightening?

Extreme nationalism tends to develop into fascistic governance, racism, and xenophobia, which is frightening.

[Dracoria]

Backing down after attempting to ban something doesn't necessarily make it a non-issue. It still displays that certain individuals in positions of some power or another had the intent, just that they were resisted.

Because this is South Carolina...I mean what did you expect?

Besides there worse things to deal with, like the fact 75% of South Carolinas population have lost their social security numbers due to hackers.

First of all, we already obviously have the racism and xenophobia, I just don't want it to get worse.

And:

...more then 70 trucks and cars flying flags came to the school while be saluted by veterans and others along the road near the school

A massive militaristic parade because they removed an eyesore/something that was blocking people's view/ability to drive, and then a threat of physical violence. That's ultranationalism.
