BEDFORD COUNTY, Va. (WSET) — A Bedford County family is pulling their son out of Staunton River High School after they say the school told him to remove the American flags he mounted on his truck.

Student Christopher Hartless said he is just exercising his First Amendment right to fly the American flag by displaying it on his car.

"My family fought for America and I feel like I should be able to represent the flag that they fought for," Hartless said.
