Brenda and Mary asked for more examples of where display of flags and/or patriotism or opinion has been censored or have been attempted to be censored in recent weeks. Personally I have heard many reports of such incidents coming from around the country ever since Sept. 11th. Many of the reports I heard on the radio (one of the Clear Channel music stations) so I cannot go back now and provide proof of those reports. Also, many of the news reports I read are no longer available. However, today I did some searches and found a whole new crop just within the past week. Here are some links:
