This is absurd. The way the bill is written, geography and languages classrooms can no longer display international (and non-TN state) flags as instructional tools, nor can international exchange programs or ethnic minority/cultural clubs.
@DuncanMSussex I have my preference, too. Earlier this week I saw a presentation of the #mnFlag candidates. Any of them will be better than the flag we have.
Having trouble remembering the difference between the flag of Belgium and the flag of Germany?
Remember this simple rhyme:
“Black touches Red, you’re in Germany like Kaiser Fred¹.
Black touches yellow, you’re in Belgium, so have a waffle with marshmallow².”³
¹This assumes that you know that Kaiser Frederick III was the second Emperor of Germany.
²This is only a slant rhyme, and it barely works since — while dessert waffles are associated with Belgium, and they would be pretty good with marshmallows on them — marshmallows are not particularly associated with Belgian waffles.
³Yes, I am not particularly good at coming up with mnemonics.
Why is #Minnesota redesigning its state flag? Among the several notable reasons is because it gets flown upside down. A lot. Here it is being flown upside down today at the #DetroitLakes police department.
I would rather our state flag be the North Star flag (or something very close). Much more identifiable and you can actually tell when it's upside down.
Here is the whole hour and twenty minute episode of #Flagged4Content I made a guest appearance on.
We talk about #vexillology and fictional #sciFi flags. And we also discuss flags I have made in my #webcomic@cosmicdash . Andy even critiques my flag designs.
All that, plus how I brutally murdered Andy, the host, in one of my short stories. It's okay. He loved it!
