Edmond Public Schools is updating its policies on displaying the American flag following state guidance from Superintendent Ryan Walters. The issue arose when Edmond North High School student Caleb Horst was told he couldn’t fly an American flag from his truck in late August. This incident sparked local support for Horst, with many residents demonstrating by flying flags around the school. While Edmond Public Schools previously lacked a formal policy on flag display, it has now been prompted to establish clear guidelines in response to the state’s new rules and the community’s reaction.
