This policy does NOT limit or restrict the flags allowed to be flown. It puts the decision squarely on the principal to display what ever flag he or she or it, decides to display. According to the policy the principal decides what is educational and what is not. This is not limiting, it is giving up your authority as a parent to control what goes on in the classroom.

On top of that the policy violates the statutes since the statutes state only the American flag can be displayed. No others, not for educational purposes, not for equality, not for religious purposes! Only American or one for patriotism. That’s it.
