Why is the flag banned in school class pictures?

Isn't there some statute somewhere that you must have an American flag at a public meeting of any sort? At least, that's what I was told when I asked why we have an American flag at church.

There is no such Federal statute, except for the requirement to display the flag at government buildings and military installations. Individual organizations may have in their rules and regulations requiring the display of the U.S. flag and/or the flag of the organization.

Example: in the chapter setup for meetings of the Order of the Eastern Star, the national flag is placed to the right of the presiding officer (the Worthy Matron). Some OES jurisdictions (not Texas) add the Protestant Christian Flag to the left of the Worthy Patron.

don't call me hun. it's patronizing.

yeah...there's no nice section. it's all nice. don't know what you're referring to. were you referring to sea cliff? dix hills? west hills? garden city? lloyd harbor? jericho? manhasset? i mean seriously. they're all "nice" and wealthy. i could go on and on. i think someone doesn't know what he's talking about.

and yes, MY OPINION is that it's tacky. if you have a different opinion, great! more power to you. i never said my opinion is right. it's my opinion. get over it and move on.

of course i can read. there you go, making judgements on people. my class is VERY well educated, thank you very much. i'm a damn good teacher. what in the world would i be depriving my students of? the lack of intelligence that you seem to think only you posses?

Actually there is a big difference from sections on Long Island. Nassau and Suffolk are different. Places like Garden City are a shit hole dependent on mall rats to keep them alive. There is also a reason why a section of Long Island is called the "Gold Coast". So before you say someone doesn't know what they're talking about make sure you know what you're talking about because as it stands you know nothing and are embarassing yourself.

You said it is "tacky as all hell" and not that it would be tacky for you to pose like that. You also essentially linked Columbine to someone who shoots for sport and is in a picture holding a gun. Not only have you passed judgement but you also are not a very good judge and I'm sure these abilities to think and communicate transfer very well into your teaching abilities.

i still don't understand why you couldn't have an american flag in a photo? it just doesn't seem rational at all. i wonder if the schools still have flags flying outside the school or if they had to take that down too.
