As was noted in an Eye response, the U.S. Flag Code is not really a statute. However, a check of N.M. statutes suggests there are State agency rules on flag display. Maybe Schmidley should check those out first, or move the demonstration over to private property.
From Title 6, NMAC
6.10.2.8 GOVERNING THE UNITED STATES FLAG AND PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE
A. The United States Flag shall be displayed and flown at all public schools throughout the state from sunrise to sunset on all days school is in session. Should another flag be flown or displayed during such period, it shall not be flown or displayed at a height greater than the height at which the United States Flag is flown or displayed. No flag shall be flown or displayed in lieu of the United States Flag on said property when the United States Flag is not being flown or displayed.
Read the op-ed section of the " UNM Daily Lobo" today. A ROTC official explains the situation.
Its hardly some students trying to spit in the face of America like you try to portray.
The group in question should be prosecuted, not the vet. And the university should be taken to task for allowing this group to violate the US Flag Code. SHAME on UNM and SHAME on DA Brandenburg.
