Why not? Its just a flag. Piracy (On the seas, at least) is very rare, and I dobt common pirates use the flags.

although uniforms are put in place to protect poorer students from ridicule based on their lack of designer clothes or recent trends, in my experience this fails...miserably\n\neven though everyone has the same uniform, people can still incorporate designer wear into it...for example black trousers and black shoes, to most at my school, means black Armani jeans and prada shoes...the bags are designer too and often the coats. even though there is a uniform it is still clear who has money and who doesn't...so this argument is null and void\n\nto add to this i find it disturbing that individuality is crushed and freedom of expression through ones clothing is prevented. We should not be encouraged to follow the crowd or become a militant cloned like society!\n\nanyone who values freedom and individuality would oppose uniform.

its a bad thing and a good thing. the good is students need it for safety, but the bad is distracting other students or probably even distract the student that has it. if i was a teacher, i would let my students bring one, but not used for inappropriate things like talking to their girlfriend/boyfriend/or some other business. school is a place to learn, not a place to mess around.

The Pledge of Allegiance is recited every morning at the start of the school day in schools. The Pledge goes like this:\n\nI pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, for liberty and justice for all. \n\n(woo - that was from memory!)\n\nI have never run into another situation in which the pledge is recited. It's certainly not recited in the workplace. \n\nHere's a bit of trivia for you: The pledge of allegiance was first started in 1893 as part of the festivities that went along with the 1893 World's Fair held in Chicago. The idea was to have all of the country's children recite the pledge at the same time. I guess it just stuck. :)  (I read that in the Devil in the White City by Erik Lawson - a non-fiction book about the 1893 World's Fair - great book, I highly recommend it!)

The Confederate flag represents one thing: TREASON. Lincoln should've charged the leaders with treason, as the Constitution states, then we wouldn't have this problem. So much for being nice. Now they still wave the flag 150 years later. YOU LOST, GET OVER IT!!!!!

why would you be obligated to pledge allegiance to anything ? i dint agree with schools whether public or college should make any student pledge allegiance. I was taught to speak up for myself and i think why should we pledge to a flag who's government has done nothing but enslaved people, create unnecessary wars and dint care about anyone else but themselves. So what its a flag big deal ! so i dint know if you have to say it in N.C. but you shouldn't have to there or any where else. look at it this way the constitution gives you the right to express yourself ..and here is me expressing myself ..that document was written for middle age -Caucasian men only.

I don't think it should be outlawed but i do feel a person or group should have to show good reason and get a permit prior to doing so.  How many would burn a flag in protest if it cost them money to do so.

It depends on the where it is being worn.  The flag is always worn as though it was advancing forward.  Because it should never be retreating.

No, I don't think so. I think it's a great tool to keep school about school and not who has the most stylish clothing. That way a kid won't have to deal with social status issues in school because  certain clothes can't be afforded. And I bet most parents would agree it makes things easier all the way around. Just my two cents.....

Let me ask you this and maybe you'll end up answering your own question. Is it OK to have a Swastika phone cover at a school with a bunch of Jewish people?

Hi,\n\nThis can go either way, but if you work in a low socio-economic areas then in my experience having a school uniform is a good idea.\n\nI've seen kids come to school in the same clothes for several days/not washed or washed their uniforms/had badly torn uniforms. Imagine what they would be wearing if they had to wear other clothes (please note - the school often supplied extra clothes as the year progressed).\n\nAlso, by having a school uniform those students from poorer families are not as easily idenified (as they would be if students wore whatever they wanted) or made to fee uncomfortable by standing out in less flashly/trendy clothes (or worse, having to wear the same clothes repeatedly).\n\nThat was how I explained it to my students and they accepted it - junior school council brought up the idea of no uniforms. I said they could vote how they wanted - I just gave them the other side to the story.

I like it. That way you dont have to worry about what is appropriate and not. Everybody just dresses the same. It will save some money for "school clothes shopping"

hmm...how about school policies maybe even the ones at your school like the tardy policy for/against it (I did this speech at my school and they actually changed it)

Unconstitutional or not, if you burn a flag, you should be tried for treason. It's one thing to be pissed off at the government and talk about how pissed you are. Free speech gives you that right. But to act on it violently, such as vandalism and arson (which is what you could break it down to when you burn a flag), you are breaking the law.

No, it is never a good idea to use the flag in any way other than it was originally intended.\n\nSee http://www.flagco.com/etiquette.shtml
