School leaders in Dickson County decided, after a summer of controversy surrounding the confederate flag, the wise thing to do would be to ban all flags and banners.
Some students are angry as they feel their patriotism is being compromised.
School leaders said there is a right and wrong way to show American pride:
"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."

Students said they were told they would get kicked out if they bring an American flag onto school property.

Well that’s certainly is a solution to a crisis that doesn’t exist.
Like you’ve got to be taught to be patriotic?
I noticed a week or so back that a little kid who was competing on Jeopardy, had a tiny U.S. Flag pin on his coat.
I was surprised they allowed it. He won too.
And who decides which way is the right way?
Who's running that place Maynard G. KREBS.. for christ's sake?..
If your parent(s) be gimmedats,
you ain’t getting patriotism at home.
Might as well get it at school.
Sort of like a free meal program,
except you might actually need it.
Who ever thought that an American flag would be something to sneak onto a school grounds, surreptitiously, like a secret identity token of a resistance member?
From the article:
“Students said they were told they would get kicked out if they bring an American flag onto school property.”
From x1stcav:
“Well thats certainly is a solution to a crisis that doesnt exist.”
I have a solution! Declare it Flag Day: Part Deux and have every student bring at least on US flag with them to school.
If they show up with confederate flags,
whatcha gonna do then? Remember, this
is Tennessee, not Vermont.

Why don't they stick to teaching Math, Science, Language e.t.c. instead of teaching how to be patriotic? I can only imagine what stupidity these people will come up with. Another opportunity to brainwash the kids to be lefties.
Time for some civil disobedience to counter this nonsense.
Well then the US taxdollars that flow their direction should be stopped.
How about everyone show up with a US flag, a Confederate flag, and an Israeli flag?
That triple shot will give them an apoplectic conniption fit!
Triple shots aren’t just for coffee anymore!
This is actually good. Now the only way to rebel against the authority is to secretly wear or bring a flag. Like a parent telling a daughter to stay away from a certain boy. Now the district has made the US flag the forbidden fruit.
That said, no sane parent would send a kid to school there.
Idiots
Yet Rutherford which is much more yankee said CSA FLAG stays
Wait ‘til someone takes exception to the Mexican flag...
