Ever heard of the First Amendment? If it's been used to justify burning the flag, it can certainly be used to justify students carrying/flying it.
BTW, the Stars & Stripes isn't just ANY flag to be lumped in with ALL flags - it's our OWN flag.
Agreed. However, clawrence3 and those of his ilk do not share your love and respect of "Old Glory." Here are some quotes from 8th and 9th graders on what the flag means to them:
The American flag to me represents freedom. Freedom to me means being willing to live within boundaries that respect the dignity of everyone. Melissa Sommer

I think that the American flag means a lot of things. I think it means freedom, justice, power and liberty. I am Puerto Rican and Dominican. I was born here in the U.S. I represent America to the fullest. Isenia Gomez

The stars on the flag look like the sky at night that leads me through the future. Laura Tittle
