Indiana student receives patriotic surprise after high school bans Old Glory display: 'Hold your ground'
2024-03-24
[FoxNews] 17-year-old Indiana high schooler Cameron Blasek said you must 'stand for what you believe in'

High school student Cameron Blasek received a patriotic paintjob free of charge for his pickup truck after East Central High School administrators in St. Leon, Indiana attempted to stop him from displaying the American flag earlier this month.

Blasek, 17, proudly displayed an American flag on his truck for most of his senior year, but Blasek said school administrators told him it broke school rules and needed to be removed.

"They had told me if you don't remove this flag, you're getting written up for insubordination. And I told them, hey, you know, there's no rules or regulations saying I can't, I read the [rules] off their handbook."

Soon afterward, other students arrived at school flying American flags on their cars, and the news story went viral.

GCI Digital, a business based out of nearby Cincinnati, heard about Cameron Blasek's patriotic story and decided to spring into action.

The business gifted a brand-new custom American flag wrap to the high school senior, free of charge.
The backdown:
Principal Tom Black told Fox News Digital that the rule "was never about the U.S. flag and it was regarding all flags on vehicles."

After consultation with the Superintendent, however, Black determined the school could allow the U.S. flag while still restricting other flags.

At least the voters now know the liberal far left crap that holds apointed positions in the St. Leon, In. Board of Education.
