anyone else read this line? is the issue being anti-american or trying to curtail reckless actions by stupid (or perhaps just overzealous) people? does anyone know what was going on beforehand? i haven't heard anything about this story.

i read that too. now, i find it rediculous that they banned the flag, but i can guess that there's a lot more to this story if you read between the lines. "misguided patriotism" is not what our flag is intended to be used for. We have all lived through high school (well, most of us) and we know how people can be. I can guess that some kids were throwing the flags in the faces of some immigrants (illegal or legal) to try and bully them. THAT is also ********. It's a tough decision on what to do. No one would want to ban the flag that stands for our nation, but how do you discipline a bunch of unruly teenagers.
