They knew the rules and bought anyway.
If they don’t like it they should move.

Public law trumps HOA interpretations. I think the HOA will have to back down based on the LAW where they live.
BTW - where I live, the HOA voted to disband by an 85:15 margin. It seems the HOA was too proactive in going after homeowners, and the homeowners revolted. No more HOA! Yippee!
Perhaps it is the president of this loathsome HOA who should move...
The law supercedes the HOA nazis. And the law states that the HOA must have a “substantial interest” in banning the means of displaying the flag. There is no “substantial interest” in having tomow aroundflower beds unless all flower beds are banned by the local nazis, which they are not. Too bad for you, eh?
