Controversy surrounding the American Flag and Colorado public schools is one step closer to being resolved.
Governor Bill Owens has threatened to veto the annual bill that funds Colorado schools if lawmakers don't agree to punish districts that ban students from carrying or wearing images of Old Glory.
A legislative panel agreed Friday to require schools districts to protect the right to the display the flag and districts that don't comply would risk losing their accreditation.
