Why is the flag banned in school class pictures?

[AGDee]

As for the flag thing.. if they said no props at all, then that's different than saying "any prop, just no flags". It sounds like the school administrator who was interviewed said "no props".

As for the gun thing... I guess I'm old fashioned, but what ever happened to senior pictures being young men and women dressed in their "Sunday best" in a conservative head and shoulders pose for the yearbook? Back in my day, if they weren't all standardized, same amount of head and shoulders, head facing the same direction if turned, or straight on if not turned, they all had to be the same. There was one shot that was "the yearbook shot" and the rest were up to you to purchase. The school picked the yearbook shot though. It was necessary to win any of the yearbook awards because they looked for a professional uniform appearance. I hate these casual senior pics of kids in jeans, or sports uniforms, etc. Of course, that's totally my opinion and I'm sure many will disagree. I'm traditional in some ways.
