Who gets to decide what flags they fly? If we allow some, we have to allow all. While it'd be cool to see The Satanic Temple fly a flag, you know someone will try to put up a Kekistan flag, or some MAGA thing. Or the Confederate flag.

I do agree we should put our values up to show what we stand for, but that's what we should make the US flag stand for as our actions as a nation.
