SCHOOL DISTRICT RESPONDS TO CONFEDERATE FLAG FLAP BY BANNING ALL FLAGS


100414flag The decision was made “Based on some actions and behaviors of students displaying banners behind a vehicle.”

“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.” claimed Dickson County Director of Student Services Steve Sorrells.

“We do have a responsibility to help our students understand citizenship, proper respect for the flag and what that might look like,” said Sorrells.

“If you want to fly a Confederate flag, if you want to fly a rainbow flag, fly a rainbow flag, whatever you want. 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,” high school senior, Arianna Heisler, told reporters.

The story drew the ire of Fox & Friends host Tucker Carlson, who lambasted the move as part of a general attack on expressions of patriotism.

“This is not about a school district in Tennessee,” Carlson said Sunday. “This is a about a long-term trend where the people who run everything — the elites in Washington, New York and L.A. — despise rural America and its culture, suspect anybody that doesn’t live in their cities of being a bigot, and they’re trying to crush that culture by banning its symbols.”
