York Comprehensive High School (South Carolina) admin cowards claimed a students Old Glory flag mounted to his truck was against school policy. Told him to not come back to school with it on his truck. Then they effed up, and dismounted it from his truck. 2 things you don't effing touch, a guys truck, and his flag.
The school leaders called it a safety concern. "Anytime you get a flag of any kind flying, it creates a visual distraction," said York Comprehensive High School Principal Christopher Black.
18-year-old Peyton Robinson told WBTV Wednesday night that a school administrator told him remove the American flag and the POW-MIA flag, which he has in the back of his truck.
"He said we're having some issues. Some people were complaining about the flags in your truck, possibly offending them. He asked me to take it down," Robinson said.
"I'd understand if it was the Confederate flag or something that might offend somebody," Robinson said. "I wouldn't do that. But an American flag - that's our country's flag. I have every right to do it. I don't see a safety issue. I mean I understand it's a big flag - it's 4 by 6 - but nobody has ever complained about it being in their way or anything."
According to Robinson, a school administrator told him to remove the flags when he got home, and not come back to school with them.
But the 18-year-old said before the school day was over on Wednesday, a school official went to Robinson's parked truck, removed the bolts that secured the flags to the truck, took the flags down, and "laid my flags down in the middle of my truck when I wasn't even there."
The senior took to social media and posted about the incident on his Facebook page. Fellow students vowed to stand with Robinson, flying flags on their cars when they arrived at school Thursday morning.

22 yr old Matt Stoltz is biking across the USA to raise money for the Boys and Girls Clubs, and Big Brothers Big Sisters. He plans to visit every major league baseball field
He hopes to raise around $100,000 for Biking for Baseball, a Denver-based nonprofit that helps raise awareness and money for Big Brothers Big Sisters and the Boys and Girls Clubs of America. “I want to raise awareness and encourage people to become mentors themselves,” Stoltz told ABC News. "I’m taking donations and as people hear about it, a lot of people are willing to donate and every single penny goes to Biking for Baseball.”
Stoltz, a recent University of Wisconsin graduate, kicked off his ride April 7 in Seattle, the day after he attended a Mariners game at Safeco Field. He's already hit the 5 in California, and is on his way to Pheonix
Stoltz says the stadium he is most looking forward to is the one where his 11,300 mile ride will end, Miller Park in Milwaukee on October 3rd.
“I’m really looking forward to Milwaukee because that means I complete it all and I’ll have family and friends there to welcome me back,” he said.
Stolz has so far raised over $13,000 for Biking for Baseball.
"A lot of what we’re doing is awareness," he said. "There’s no financial amount you can place on people becoming mentors and influencing kids."
