I am not an American - but I certainly wouldn't have a problem with a teacher in Germany, displaying an Israeli & Palestinian Flag - in order to document his neutral position, or his acknowledgement towards the right of existence of both parties.The American flag should be the only flag in any American classroom in the public education system.
Just as I wouldn't have a problem with a guy nailed on a wooden cross being displayed in a high-school class-room - those kids don't start to get religious due to going to a public school and looking at a cross - but in reference of their parents influence onto them and their self-interest. However I did ask kindly for it to be removed as an adult, in my single room, during my hospital stay.
The same goes for an LGBTq Flag in school - no one starts to get gay - due to some flag hanging in a school room. If a teacher would teach "indoctrinate" my daughter, it is great to be gay - I will handle him personally.
Schools/teachers are supposed to teach about EVERYTHING to further a students horizon - but not to "indoctrinate" kids with their personal conviction or agendas.
I remember very well the "repercussions" a teacher faced during a teacher/parents meeting - about him having stated to us in Grade 6 - Hitler was a decent chap - who's interest was to protect the Germans from evil influences. (That was an English missionary school in Singapore).
Are today's US parents to lazy and self-comforting, to attend teacher/parents meetings? to handle such occurrences themselves? They need laws for every shit, to handle their lives and that of their own kids? - just asking.
Constantly asking for laws to handle their own lives (being to lazy to handle it themselves) - and then constantly complaining about those laws
