There are a number of Board members whose posts are responsible by any measure. One measure is accuracy; others, not so much. Regarding a couple of posts above:
Members of the The University of California at Irvine student government voted to ban all flags from the lobby of its student government office on the campus. The student government executive council countered that vote by vetoing it as the student government charter states that the executive council can do. Thus, the removal of all flags from the student government office lobby never took place.
As per federal guidelines, which have the force of law but do not have penalties stipulated, the US flag is not illegal anywhere within the territories of the United States. I'm gonna check out your story on the UC Irvine issue.
Raising a foreign flag in the United States by itself, or at equal mast to the US flag is actually illegal. You can only raise a foreign flag in the USA if Old Glory is displayed
above it. The exception is the United Nations Building in NYC where all flags are displayed at equal mast with the blessing of the text of flag law. That's the extent of my familiarity with US flag code, right or wrong.
