A couple of weeks ago some gewber on here posted an article about a school not flyin the American flag above other country's flags. Here is how the gewber responsed to my response:
Thank you for your comments.
Several media outlets have published misinformation about the location of the American flag at Bauder Elementary School.Bauder Elementary School serves an international population and flags in the center lobby represent the individual nationalities of its students.
Last Monday, the district became aware that a photo that implied that another nation's flag was flying higher than the American flag was published on a local blog. The American flag was immediately returned to its rightful position in the middle of the flag display in the school's center lobby. International flags fly on an angle below it in a position of deference.
Neither school staff nor district administration were responsible for the removal of the American flag from its customary location.
Bauder Elementary and Poudre School District respect the position of our country's flag and the sensitive nature of this issue. As such, the American flag always flies at the highest point of the display.
For further clarification, please refer to two articles published in a recent edition of our local newspaper.
