Christopher Hartless, a bold teenager from Virginia, has decided to leave high school and pursue homeschooling. His reason? A confrontation with school administration about his truck, which was displaying two giant American flags. Despite being ordered to remove the flags due to potential disruption, Hartless is a firm believer in his First Amendment rights and his family’s deep connection to the country.
Christina Kingery, who supports her stepson’s position, stated, “If this is what he believes in, then we are both going to stand behind him all the way.” However, the school has said that their parking rules prohibits the display of flags and banners for safety reasons.
Hartless and his family took the difficult decision to turn to homeschooling out of respect for their beliefs and to avoid bus travel. He said, “My family fought for America, and I feel like I should be able to represent the flags that they fought for.”
Teen takes a stand for his beliefs.
