Oh, Say Can You See?
In Sampson County, North Carolina, officials at Hobbton High School refused to allow students to wear clothing with the American flag to mark the anniversary of the Set. 11 terror attacks on New York City and Washington, D.C. Officials cited a rule banning all national flags. The rules stemmed from controversy surrounding students wearing shirts with flags of other countries. Following public criticism of the decision, school officials repealed the ban on flags.
