If I remember correctly the flag was being worn, inapropriately, on clothing. The US Flag Code prohibits that use. The school sent a kid home for wearing offensive clothing....might have been some mention of hispanic students being offended. Probably an instance of obnoxious behavior on several fronts like normal. Scott Nicholson, Broker Discovery Realty Group 512-947-2688 www.DiscoveryAustin.com

This "poll" came out almost a year ago--May of 2010. Where is the opinion piece that lead up to this "poll?" I'd like to see what it had to say and to whom the "ban" was addressed. My understanding is that this had to do with on-air personnel maintaining some appearance of neutrality, not the general public's patriotism. Sounds like another right-wing scare tactic to me. See Snopes on the issue: http://www.snopes.com/rumors/noflags.asp Louise ________________________________ From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Date: Fri, 28 Jan 2011 10:14:49 -0600 Subject: [ot_caving] FW: Vote NO on FOX to banning the flag in America To my way of thinking, this is not political but a support of the freedoms that all in our great country enjoy.
