Nope, all stars are pointed up.

I saw a guy once who had displayed his flag upside down, i.e. all stars pointed down, on his pickup truck and told him so.

He said, “I know.....It’s an international sign of DISTRESS................”

I have no idea what it was made of. It is the flag of some of my ancestors.

I read somewhere this AM that the school officials have “re-considered”.

The FACT that this was ever an issue to begin with is disgusting. Predictable, though.

Ever since the Communists and Unions were allowed to infest our public education system, it has been on a downhill slide.

The only way that we will reverse this is to remove both from any connection at all with our schools and our children. By force, if necessary.

Most likely muslin, a cotton cloth commonly used today as sheets and pillowcases.

The colored parts were most likely printed with a wooden block and press, for ease and quick manufacture of lots.

Do you have a source for that 75% claim?

Thanks in advance.

“By the end of the school day, officials announced that flags such as Robinson’s are safety concerns. Superintendent Vernon Prosser told WSOC-TV the fear is that they could block the view of other drivers and cause a wreck.”

Trying to conceal your motivations doesn’t work if you already revealed your true motivations.

The principal said he would order ALL the flag supporters to take down their flags, but two hours later he was backing up faster than a cat covers up s***.

The real story not yet known is that the original complaint came from local muzzies at York County’s very own “Islamberg” compound in the woods.

If you read the excerpt from the link you will read that the ‘flags’ used by individual units were handmade, usually by local sign painters, sail makes and such, and there was no consistency from unit to unit, either in size or shape.

A lot of flags were made in England!...................

“Do you have a source for that 75% claim?”

No, just something I heard once at a dinner, but it seems to correlate to the number of convicted sex offenders that I am personally aware of in this area of Georgia.
