A controversy has erupted at Edmond North High School in Oklahoma after senior Caleb Horst was banned from flying an American flag from his truck, a move he and his peers view as a violation of their First Amendment rights. Despite the school's claim of a no-flag policy, Horst has previously displayed the flag without issue and argues that it symbolizes unity and patriotism, especially with his brother serving in the military. In response to the ban, students and community members organized a peaceful protest, displaying over 50 vehicles adorned with flags in the school parking lot while reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The school district insists the ban is not specifically aimed at the American flag but is intended to prevent disruptions and safety concerns. Community backlash has intensified, with many questioning the school's rationale for prohibiting a symbol they claim to respect and display prominently. As the situation develops, it continues to draw attention from local and national media.
