Should public schools fly any other flag other than the American Flag or their state flag?

City flag
Maybe the school created their own flag?

I think the MIA/POW flag would be fine. Also the black power fist flag could be appropriate.

City, and school flag if they have one. But never fly it higher than the American flag and never in the center, American flag goes there.

Is there an issue of schools flying too many flags?

Given the history of hatred and bigotry that the American flag represents, I'd be ok with doing away with it on all public premises

What about this? Is this acceptable?

Vermont high school will fly Black Lives Matter flag during Black History Month

Montpelier Public Schools announced Wednesday that Montpelier High School would fly the flag after a year of school officials working with the student-led Racial Justice Alliance. The student group said in a statement that "Vermont has a long history of being at the forefront of civil rights movements," and the decision to fly the flag builds on that legacy.

Maybe for special commemorations like National POW Day or after their NFL team wins the Superbowl, but nothing supporting a political group or divisive social cause (BLM, NRA, LGBTQRZ@#^1*).

Why wouldn't that be ok? Black Lives Matter never executed a genocide on native Americans or enslaved Africans

Fly a flag with the picture of MLK on it instead. BLM is a group founded on a false premise that pushes for superior rights, not equal rights.

City or school flags (if they have one) is fine.


Flags of political or social justice groups (especially groups that were founded and promote false anti-police narratives and have been responsible for a number of riots in American cities) should not be flown by public entities.

I hope someone sues the school district to either block them from flying a BLM flag, or to allow conservative students to also fly a MAGA flag at the school.
