I received numerous stories that the Principal at Carter High School is prohibiting students from displaying USA flags on their vehicles. I contacted the Knox County Public Affairs department and she contacted the school.

The rationale is, “In the past, students have placed full-size flags representing different interests on their vehicles, which resulted in various complaints. To be fair across all student groups, the principal decided not to allow any flags on vehicles on school campus.”

I asked a follow-up, isn’t that a violation of first amendment right? When I hear back you will know.

In the meantime, if you are inclined you can contact Knox County Schools Superintendent Bob Thomas, here or call 865-594-1800 and Carter High School Principal Mrs. Angie Messer, here or call 865-933-3434. You can TRY to contact the Carter area School Board Member Mike McMillan, here or 865-933-0300
