No it should not. Apparently, you know little about flag potrocol.

It is not about protocol. Just fly the American flag as we are in the United States of America.

Wrong again, It’s about our constitution, in particular Freedom of Speech, our laws, and flag protocol.

I’m quite certain if these students had raised an Israeli flag in support of Israel, whose people are by and large not even U.S. Citizens, that we would not be having this conversation. Add to that any other “white European nation” and there would ZERO, NONE, exception taken against what these students did.

You are actually right for once, the opinion part. However public schools can only raise American and State flags that is the protocol you mentioned, it is law.

Actually I am correct on both points. There is no “universal” law within the U.S. that would restrict the flying of another nations flag. There are however some individual states, and local ordinances that speak to this. The U.S. must always be higher that any other flags flown with it, with a couple of rare exceptions.

Interesting, look at the first thing that comes up when you Google……. “Is Trump a racist”

It makes sense to me that a LOT of his MAGA base is too.

Donald Trump has been repeatedly accused of racist speech and actions throughout his career, a view shared by various scholars, journalists, and public figures
. Trump has consistently denied these accusations, stating he is "the least racist person that you've ever encountered".
Critics point to a long history of incidents, which are often described as racist, including:
[LIST]
[*]Housing Discrimination Suit (1973): The Justice Department sued Trump's real estate company for allegedly refusing to rent apartments to African Americans. The case was settled with a consent decree without an admission of wrongdoing.
[*]Central Park Five Case (1989): Trump placed newspaper ads calling for the death penalty for five Black and Hispanic teenagers accused of rape. They were later exonerated by DNA evidence in 2002, but Trump continued to suggest their guilt as late as 2024.
[*]"Birther" Conspiracy Theory: Trump was a leading proponent of the debunked theory that President Barack Obama was not born in the U.S., a claim widely seen as racially motivated.
[*]2016 Campaign Launch: In his campaign launch speech, he stated that Mexico was sending people who were "bringing drugs. They're bringing crime. They're rapists".
[*]Charlottesville Rally (2017): Following a white supremacist rally where a counter-protester was killed, Trump stated there were "very fine people on both sides," comments widely criticized as creating a moral equivalence between white supremacists and counter-protesters.
[*]"Shithole Countries" (2018): During a meeting on immigration, Trump reportedly referred to El Salvador, Haiti, and African nations as "shithole countries," suggesting the U.S. should take more immigrants from countries like Norway.
[*]"Go back" Comments (2019): He tweeted that four Democratic congresswomen of color (three of whom were born in the U.S.) should "go back and help fix the totally broken and crime-infested places from which they came," a common racist trope.
[*]COVID-19 Terminology: He repeatedly referred to COVID-19 as the "Chinese virus" or "kung flu," which critics argue fueled bias and attacks against Asian Americans.
[*]Recent Comments (2024-2025): More recently, Trump has continued to make controversial statements, including referring to Somali immigrants as "garbage," "filthy," and "disgusting".
[/LIST]

Conversely, some of his supporters defend his statements as a rejection of political correctness, and studies have shown that racial attitudes and resentment were a significant factor in his political support.

What’s this got to do with schools and foreign flags? I get it, you’re capable of looking the words I wrote Flag Code to try and nullify what I wrote but it just further proved you don’t know it.

You don’t, but even after showing you U.S. flag code in writing you’re not going to admit you have no idea what you are taking about so best if we just agree to disagree.

Schools are public and federally subsidized they are mandated to follow the US flag code. Some choose to follow a fag code and is why the controversy. A-political.

Isn’t it great to watch Trump talk to reporters. He actually answers them. No spin, no furries ushering him out, no wondering off stage or falling on stairs or crapping his pants., no ramblings about his son dying in Iraq (cancer in Virginia), no guys dressed as women. LOVE IT and you do to.

It’s a real story of fraud committed by criminals. Foxnews BS is in playing it up like Tim Walz is responsible for it. It was criminals that perpetrated this. Criminals are criminals and should be punished accordingly.
Here’s Foxnews opening line in their coverage of this crime………

“Trump Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced at the start of the month that he had opened an investigation into "feckless mismanagement" by Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz that allowed what U.S. Attorney for the District of Minnesota Daniel Rosen called "the largest Covid-19 fraud scheme in the country."

The investigation is just beginning yet Foxnews finds it appropriate to make such a statement about “feckless mismanagement by Gov. Tim Walz”

This is exactly the same type of reporting that has cost Foxnews hundreds upon hundreds of millions of dollars in legal payouts for their “lies.”

Again, more Foxnews bullchit reporting.

"It’s a real story"

That is the answer. Pretty simple. The rest is just your interpretation of someone's writing. Useless.

Oh, so who is responsible for the taxpayers money when all is said and done? Tim Walz.

I will say it again. Too busy worried about stocking little boy's bathrooms with tampons.

And yes, news outlets get sued all the time on both sides. There are winners, there are losers. There are also radical left judges on the loose.
