Looks like the school kind of had a point and the blowback was pretty much for the wrong reason.  The school said the flag was a driving hazard, it had nothing to do with being offensive.

I've never had a problem with not being able to see past the bed of a truck.  Using that logic, the bed campers should be prohibited as well.

School should leave it to the police and highway folks to decide what's a road hazard.  Hell, most schools aren't doing what their responsible for very well.  Let's have them focus more on the education part.

Legal way to drive with a flag.


Illegal way.

With a good tailwind and slow speed through a parking lot I could see those flags wrapping around the side windows, and possibly the windshield.
