ST. LEON, Ind. — Wherever East Central High School senior Cameron Blasek goes, so does Old Glory. The American Flag blows in the wind on the back of his blue Dodge 4x4.
On Thursday, Blasek said he was pulled aside by his counselor and vice principal. He said they told him he needed to remove the flag from the back of the truck because it was a violation of school rules. Blasek kept the flag on his truck. The following day, several others showed up to the parking lot with American Flags on their own vehicles.
“I am pleased to inform you that we are allowing the display of the U.S. flag by students in the parking lot,” the letter stated. “Friday morning, after consulting with other administrators, we determined that we would allow the U.S. Flag to be displayed, and would prohibit other flags if they were determined to be offensive,” Black said.
