The town of Maryville (TN) has banned the flag. They were specifically targeting the Confederate flag, but have actually banned all flags, laser pointers, signs, and noise makers from school sporting events.
Board members say the policy is designed to create a safe and secure environment, preventing any racial threats from being made.Flags, apparently, are dangerous articles and cause racial threats and violence. Someone should tell the International Olympic Committee.While the ban is wide-ranging, the focus has been about the Confederate flag.

What was the German poem with ``Ich fahre die Fahne'' (I carry the flag) spoken with amazed pride at the honor. Maybe google will turn up something.
That was back when flags meant something.
