I teach 4th grade and had a gentlemen come through the school and tell us
that the flag pole outside was wrong because it had a ball on it. He ]
then told us that all of our flags were wrong because we had the court
martial spear for a Finial.
Since schools are not courts of law. What difference does it make?
We just told him to buy us a new one. For some reason his cause didn't
seem to be that important because we don't have a new flag yet. But until we
do we still respect the symbol of our country that is posted in our
room, and regard it as the symbol of our great nation.
If anyone has information as to whether or not what this guy says has merit in
a school setting please let me know.
