For what it's worth, I'm a vet who is not offended by less than perfect display of the flag. I figure most people who go to the trouble of putting it on their car or bike have good intentions. I think more people SHOULD be aware of proper etiquette, but I don't get worked up by it.
As to this school, shame on them. And if the principal doesn't think student safety can be maintained if a kid has a flag on his bike, there are bigger problems at that school. If that was my kid, the flag simply would not have come off the bike, no way, no how. Anyone who is grotesquely offended by the sight of that flag is free to voice his/her disapproval, just as that kid is free to display the flag on his bike.
If this isn't the epitome of liberal political correctness run amuck, I don't know what is.
