An Oklahoma high school has been slammed by conservatives after a student was told they would not be permitted to fly an American flag on his truck.
Edmond North High School, which previously came under fire [1] for holding feet and armpit licking events in March 2024, informed the student of the ban on flying the Star Spangled Banner.
Some have claimed the move to be a breach of the student’s constitutional rights, although Edmond Public Schools’ public information officer Jeff Bardach defended the decision which covers an outright ban on flag flying.
“You can’t allow one [flag] and limit another,” he told local media [2]. “It’s been our long-standing practice to not allow students to bring flags.”
The school has a range of policies which include bans on inappropriate language, signs, and flags on campus or at events.
