They absolutely would block those image submissions as well and request a new one without a prop. The problem with allowing any wiggle room on the rules is it opens the floodgates to other students doing the same thing and parents complaining about pref. Treatment.

Dunno why this was posted. The school just told her to send another image for yearbook not including a prop. She wasn’t suspended or something more dramatic. Also people are making a good point about US flag codes.

I don't agree. Many public schools have been shoehorning 'critical race theory' and other blm-aligned nonsense into their curricula, and there have been stories in the past of students complaining that a 2nd Amendment shirt or something similar makes them feel "unsafe".

The second they tell a student "no blm flags in your photo", it turns into a national news story about how racist the school is, and no amount of saying "rules are rules" will convince the media vultures and racial agitators to go away. Considering that many public schools will capitulate when an irritating atheist group throws a fit over a coach leading a pre-game prayer, I'd say that there's a strong chance of buckling in the face of a blm temper tantrum or some walk-out from students. There have been at least a few instances of high schools choosing to fly blm flags on campus, so it's not as though schools are pretending to be neutral.

As for the flag code, I mean, how many Trump rallies have technical violations of the flag code?

I’m a teacher and I help with yearbook. It’s not gonna happen unless in some liberal shithole of CA.
