The US is always so disrespectful flying their flag higher than others
I thought it was common knowledge that to fly two flags you need two poles
I think it stems from our domestic flag rules which have state and local flags flying below the US flag, even if on different poles. The US flag must always be the highest.
I was gonna say that Texas' flag is the only one "allowed" to be at the same height as the U.S. flag, but apparently I've been taught a big ol' lie.
In fact it looks like we're both wrong, according to Snopes.
In some cases, the acceptable way to display the flag is to burn it. Is day now is such a time.
