Can a student hailing from Georgia show his state flag, one quadrant of which is the old stars and bars?

I think you mean the Mississippi state flag.

yeah, didn’t something like 30% of black voters vote to keep the Confederate flag as part of the Miss state flag?

When my class was graduating H/S they had a no jeans, shorts, etc rule. My friend came from a lower income family and lived on a farm. Jeans were the only pants he had. He bought them new and wore them to school, when they became ‘worn’ he wore them while working on the farm.

He showed up for the walk with his newest pair of dark blue jeans (concealed to the shins by the robe); the school told him they didn’t care the circumstances “change, or don’t walk.” He ended up finding a pair of ratty teal cordouroys, from his older brother (which were too big for him), and barely made it back as we were starting to march onto the field.

— It seems schools are always trying to find reasons to keep certain students from the Graduation Walk

Current Georgia flag. 1st National Flag of the confederacy "stars and bars".

Thanks -- I was almost totally wrong. I was thinking of Georgia's flag up to 2001 (but that's not a quadrant-ed flag anayway), but you are doubly correct (1) that GA's current flag has no "confederate flag residue" and (2) that MS's flag has a miniature battle-flag in one quadrant.
