No school policies prohibit the flying of flags.

INDIAN TRAIL, N.C. - Parents in North Carolina reacted this week to a high school student flying a Confederate flag in a school parking lot.

“To have my child go to school and that’s the first thing he saw when he’s just going to get an education made me cry this morning,” one mother said. “Some use it as a symbol of heritage. That’s their right, that’s their choice, freedom of speech,” she said. “But it also creates a lot of fear in people.”

“When Porter Ridge High School administrators were made aware of the flags, they responded immediately and spoke to the students involved. Following the conversation, the students removed the Confederate flags. The flags did not cause a disruption and there were no safety concerns.”
