Why I Fly the Flag: For Love of My Country and the First Amendment

By @travisyllm781

The first flag I raised on my own was a yard-sale purchase, a 3 by 5 with edges slightly frayed from years of hard wind. I patched the hem on my kitchen table, stitched a brass grommet into the corner, and set a temporary pole in the ground with a bag of fast-setting concrete. At sunrise the next morning, I clipped on the halyard and sent the fabric up into a sky rinsed clean by night rain. The cloth flicked, filled, and began to sing.

By @travisyllm781

The argument did not start with a headline or a lawsuit. It started with a backpack. A freshman rolled into homeroom wearing a small American flag patch stitched to the strap. A senior had a rainbow pin on her denim jacket. Two teachers https://storage.googleapis.com/confederate-flags-for-sale-1/ultimate-flags-confederate-flags.html had different flags in their classrooms, one for veterans, one for Pride. By lunch, the principal had three emails accusing the school of pol
