I agree 100% - it should only be for fallen soldiers/political figures. And, if a student dies in a school district, the flags should be lowered in that district.
After reading a few articles on this whole thing, Christie did apparently have the flags lowered to half mast for Clarence Clemons. I didn't even realize it, because nobody made a big deal about it then.
