Headline is kind of clickbait

The bill also allows for the flying of a “historic version of a flag ... that is temporarily displayed for educational purposes,”

“There are instances where in classrooms, you have curriculum that is needed to use flags such as World War II, Civil War,” he said. “You may have a Nazi flag. You may have a Confederate flag, and so you are allowed to display those flags… as part of the curriculum, and that is okay.”

The law is still dumb for wanting to ban the pride flag.

I would just show the kids a picture of the flag in the book and if they don’t understand why some Americans are objecting to the flying of a Nazi flag. Maybe they should read the damn book.
