In the video, the U.S. flag flying at Circle 10 Council’s Camp Wisdom, in Dallas County, Texas.
Perhaps when you were a child, you watched your father as he posted Old Glory near your front door, on holidays and other special occasions. Your father set an example that you follow today.
“Litchfield, Minnesota veterans Roger Tipka, Don Nordlie and Stan Mortenson, pictured from left, raise the U.S. flag prior to the start of the third annual Tournament of Duty in 2015. The three men all served in the Battle of Iwo Jima during World War II.” Litchfield Independent Observer photograph.

The White House protocol office is almost always right on flag display stuff. The U.S. flag was displayed correctly, the pride flag was not displayed disrespectfully.
Not that I want to start anything controversial, but are my authority on flag etiquette. (And I want to play nicely!) Did you see how the Pride flag was displayed at the White House last week for a Pride event there? It was draped on a balcony between two American flags. The American flag still was flying higher on a staff. Apparently there were some who were offended that the Pride flag was more prominent that the American flag. I had no problem personally with the display.
What do you think? I read parts of the flag code to see if the display violated the code and it was rather vague.

We've been soaking in the Bathtub for several months, long enough that some of the links we've used have gone to the Great Internet in the Sky.
If you find a dead link, please leave a comment to that post, and tell us what link has expired.
Thanks!

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.

Whiners gonna whine.
Here’s the relevant law from the U.S. Code, via Cornell’s Law Library. See for yourself: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/4/5
