Oh, sigh.
"A Tennessee school district has banned students from bringing American flags to campus because it doesn’t want to take a chance on students bringing any flags that could be seen as offensive by others.
If students violate the flag ban, they’ll be kicked out of school, students told WHBQ-TV.

School officials, who say they haven’t had any issues with the policy so far, said there are a number of ways by which students can still express themselves.
“While this was not necessarily an attack on the American flag, there were some other issues we’re trying to address,” said Steve Sorrells, Dickson County director of student services. “It’s not an unpatriotic act by any means because we have a number of ways in which students do learn how to be patriotic and express American pride.”
School officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment from TheBlaze."
