      Colorado school expels foreign flags from gym

      Posted by Billbar from Rocky Mountain News

      A Littleton middle school removed 30 flags from the gym Friday, fearing that they violate a Colorado law against displaying foreign flags in state buildings. The 30 flags, including a U.S. flag, represented the nationalities of Goddard students, including some from as far away as Mongolia and Eritrea. The school's principal said she has had no complaints about the foreign flags. She considered whether they violate state law after a flap this week over foreign flags in a Jefferson County classroom.

      A Jefferson County, Colo. geography teacher was placed on paid administrative on the second day of school for hanging several flags from other countries in his classroom. Eric Hamlin said the flags were part of a world geography lesson plan at Carmody Middle School and refused to take them down. The school's principal escorted Hamlin out of class Wednesday morning after he refused to remove the flags of China and Mexico.
