Debate:Is the Conservapedia Logo in violation of US Flag Code? (view source)
Revision as of 04:25, January 7, 2011
, 04:25, January 7, 2011Clarification of wear of lapel pins in accordance with US Flag Code
:::Technically, yes. Section 1, Title 4 of the US code specifies advisory rules (there is not specified penalty) for the display of the American flag, but these rules are routinely violated. Many people (military personnel, police and firemen are exempt) for example, wear the American flag or a representation of it, as an article of apparel in violation of the code (keep this in mind during the next frew-fraw over "I'm more patriotic than you cuz I have a flag pin!").

::::Section 8(j), Title 4 of the US Code states: "No part of the flag should ever be used as a costume or athletic uniform. However, a flag patch may be affixed to the uniform of military personnel, firemen, policemen, and members of patriotic organizations. The flag represents a living country and is itself considered a living thing. Therefore, the lapel flag pin being a replica, should be worn on the left lapel near the heart."

:::The code also states that the flag should never have words or letters attached or placed on it, so in that respect, Conservapedia's logo violates Section 1, Title 4 of the US Code. However, as I have already noted, there is no penalty attached to this. [http://www.access.gpo.gov/uscode/title4/chapter1_.html]--[[User:JBoley|JBoley]] 11:21, 16 July 2008 (EDT)
