If a bill now racing through the Tennessee legislature becomes law, as it almost certainly will, it will become illegal to display a pride flag at a public school in a location where any student ...
They never explicitly voted to keep confederate flags. That being said, one of the many types of flags that are allowed are those deemed “protected historical items” as defined by TN Code § 4-1-412 which does include items relating to “any war, battle, or military conflict in which citizens of the United States or any state or territory of the United States have participated in”.
Funny enough, this law would allow you to carry an Iranian, Soviet, or other flag that would piss people off.
I would recommend this article if you want to learn more.
Okay thank you for your information! I still wanna share a snarky quote from the article though even if it isn’t technically true in the case
If there’s one time the Tennessee legislature feels strongly about protecting free speech rights, it’s when those rights involve a symbol promoting racism and treason against the United States.
Is there any way to get a pride flag to qualify? Large scale protests seem like they could be historic (although IDK what the actual criteria is) and it would be funny if a protest against a law made the flag protected by the law.
I bet you could hurt some feelings by flying the flag of the Seychelles.
(It’s allowed cause the USA flew drone operations out of the Seychelles under the Obama administration.)
It also allows flags from “other countries and their local governments,” which, as long as they don’t need to presently exist, should cover it. If they do, just fly the flag of Cusco, Peru

Florida has declared war on “woke”. That should allow all kinds of flags.
Wait that allows for a lot of communist flags. American citizens join basically every army

Not really, no. The AP article has a list of every exemptions and it wouldn’t really qualify under any of them.
