I think a flag should be simple enough that school children could draw a decent approximation of it. Their original flag, Louisiana's current flag, etc, are too busy for their own good.
why the frick would school children need to draw a decent approximation of a state flag?

Because the entire purpose of a flag is to be recognizable at a distance: on a building, ship, or battlefield. Flags with detailed little pictures on them don't satisfy that goal particularly well.
There's a reason that, historically, flags and crests weren't the same. Seals and crests were more detailed in order to be more difficult to forge. Sticking a complicated crest/seal on a flag defies the purpose of a flag.
