BRADENTON, Fla. – A Manatee High School officials confiscated a Confederate flag with “Trump 2016” emblazoned on it that a student brought to campus Wednesday to celebrate Spirit Week.

Wednesday was “national pride” day for Manatee High School’s Spirit Week, and students were encouraged to wear a country’s flag, or to dress in traditional garb from other countries, the Bradenton Herald reports.

The Spirit Week festivities – which also included tacky tourist day, exotic animal day, out-of-this-world day, and a color day – are designed to encourage school spirit ahead of homecoming this weekend.

But one unidentified student caused a controversy when he came to school with the “Trump 2016” Confederate flag and students posed with the flag to take pictures and post them to social media. At least one student complained to Principal Don Sauer that the flag was offensive, Manatee County School District spokesman Mike Barber told the news site, presumably because all things associated with the Confederacy or Donald Trump are considered racist.

Barber said school officials tracked the student down and demanded that he turn over the flag, which he did.

“Wow … Bradenton Manatee High School spirit day allows this?” Tee Roe posted to Twitter with a picture of students gathered around the allegedly offensive flag and other flags in front of the school.

Roe, of course, alerted the media about the picture, as well.

According to the Herald:

Barber said the flag would be returned to the student from whom it was confiscated, and he said the incident would be handled at the school, although there was a slight increase in Bradenton Police Department presence at the school at the end of the day.

Barber stressed that BPD was made aware of what happened at the school but that it was a school matter.

School officials sent an automated phone message to parents about the situation.

On Thursday, a large group of black students organized a Black Lives Matter rally in a school courtyard before class, the Herald reports.

“This morning at Manatee High School,” Tabb Lowe posted to Twitter with a picture of the protest. “With NO violence either. The feeling & energy was amazinggg #BlackLivesMatter #Unity”

Barber said the protest started in a school courtyard before school in response to the Trump 2016 Confederate flag the day prior, and it dispersed when the bell rang for class.

The incident at Manatee High School is the latest in a long line of incidents in which school administrators across the country are cracking down on students’ freedom of expression.

Also on Wednesday, police in Newton, Massachusetts launched a investigation into a group of students at Newtown North High School who drove through the school parking lot with a Confederate flag flying out the window, the Boston Globe reports.

And in Birmingham, Alabama last week, students and school officials at Briarwood Christian High School were forced to apologize when their Trump-themed football night slogan offended the predominantly black home team.

Briarwood students unfurled a large, paper banner for their team to burst through at the start of the game that read: “Make America Great Again – Trump the Tigers,” and some folks at the game were offended by the “racist” sign, AL.com reports.
