Holy shit. This board has become a bunch of fucking morons.
Your not worshipping the flag - Your paying respects to your country, and everything the flag stands for. The flag is a symbol. The bald eagle is also a symbol of our country, but it's a bit difficult to have live eagles in each classroom. I'm proud of the freedoms I have being in the US.
I have no hang ups about the US Flag. It's just a matter of respect. For the very same reason you won't find me burning Iraq's flag, or the flag of any other country - It's matter of respect.
