Well, technically Texas can since we were an independent nation. Seems like Vermont can as well.

Just looked it up...

“It is an urban legend that the Texas flag is the only state flag that is allowed to fly at the same height as the U.S. flag. However, the legend is false. Neither the Joint Resolution for Annexing Texas to the United States nor the Ordinance of Annexation contains any provisions regarding flags.”

Sorry....

Just saw that AP says ALL state flags can be flown at same height as American flag as long as they are on different flag poles...

I don’t know anymore...I always though and heard the American flag flies highest...

Worth remembering: the original states created the United States of America.

The United States did not create the original states.

States that joined the union later have all the benefits of the Constitution including the ninth and tenth amendments.

I mention this because I don’t think it is still taught in schools.
