Every year, Jackson Hole High School has celebrated “America Day” around homecoming time — and it’s become quite the spectacle.
The tradition includes students wrapping American flags around their shoulders, wearing American flag attire and driving a diesel truck around the parking lot with the stars and stripes waving in the wind.
But this year turned out to be different for the students in Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Activities Director Mike Hansen cancelled “America Day” this year to ensure no students were offended by the display of American pride.
“Many different students could have felt singled out…Maybe they moved here last week. Maybe they moved here last month,” he told the Jackson Hole News & Guide. “We’re trying to balance many different things here. We’re trying to be inclusive and safe, make everyone feel welcome.”
In keeping with the American spirit, several high school students got extremely creative — and defiant — on homecoming week.
One parent, Ted Dawson, was extremely proud of how his kids responded to the ban on “America Day” — and he let everyone know about it on Facebook:
