A Viewer Writes: Flags

Good morning, Joe:

Comment:
I'm sure someone at Bennett Middle will read this.

Per the Federal and State flag code, when the American flag is flown at half staff, no other flag shall be flown above it.

Bennett has the county and state flags at full while the American is half.
Can someone please address this?

Thank you

They need to fly the American flag upside down. We are sure in a National disastor at this point.

Yep, let's give them the right to carry guns in school even though they can't figure out the proper order to fly the flags.

I am a teacher, and our schools are full of liberal idiots who have no business shaping our children. And our ultra liberal union of which I am no longer a member plans to keep it that way.

This came from the Md.gov website

This is to advise you that President Barack Obama has ordered the United States Flag be lowered to half-staff effective IMMEDIATELY, from November 15, 2015 thru November 19, 2015. The flag may be raised to full staff at sunset on November 19, 2015. As a matter of protocol, the Maryland flag is lowered to half-staff as well, no flag may be higher than the United States flag. This action honors the victims of the attack in Paris, France. This action is taken under the Presidential Proclamation. Any questions on the above should be directed to the Office of the Secretary of State.

As a human being and citizen of this country, every person should know -- WITHOUT HAVING TO BE TOLD -- that no flag is flown higher than the flag that represents the United States of America. I am ultra-liberal and I've know this since I've been in middle school. Of course, I wasn't educated here. To the administration and every teacher of BMS: If you are not going to use the brain between your ears, give it to science.
