title: MI SCHOOL SENDS Welcome Back Packet Warning Kids Against Wearing U.S. Flag To School
text: ROSEVILLE, Mich.   Parents are raging after a Detroit area school district sent a packet to parents that lists the U.S. flag among items banned by the school dress code. A student s dress should not interfere with the learning environment,  Roseville Community School officials wrote.  The following are prohibited: The items include the typical slippers and sagging pants, spaghetti straps and bare midriff tops, but between  Hats or head gear  and  Low cut shirts,  the letter lists  U.S. Flag. Parents and others raged on Facebook Thursday. Here is a picture of the post by Facebook user and parent  Heather Marie :It didn t take long for school officials to clarify the  error. An informational packet was mailed out this week with an error,  according to a statement on the Roseville Community Schools website.  We apologize for the incorrect statement that was in reference to the US Flag. The statement that was published should have specified that the flag should not be worn in a demeaning manner.  EAG NewsHere s a screen shot of the  corrected  packet:The fact that Roseville Schools removed  U.S.  before the word  flag  from their corrected list of  Prohibited Apparel  is especially interesting. In fact, the words they replaced  U.S. flag  are so different, that many of the parents in Roseville think the school is just trying to cover their tracks.Here are a few of the comments under Heather Marie s post that got over 4K shares: After 1.8k plus shares, Fox 2 news, and channel 4 news the school has said that it was  a misprint  and they are able to wear the flag as long as it is not in a demeaning way. They said they took a short cut in printing the books, in all reality they were more than likely thinking no one was even going to read it. Anyways, I m happy that it has been fixed. Now I don t have to go and get all flag shirts and iron flags on the inside of them so they still show when they make them flip the shirt inside out for my 3 kiddos LMAO.   When letters get made and sent home before they make copies they proofread them several times. This is no accident they just realized that they have offended a lot of people and now want to try to fix their mistakes. You go mama bear! I agree parents should come together on that after all we are in the USA and it is our country I totally disagree with that . as a Roseville parent and a parent in the USA I proudly support the flag.
