May Allah grant you success. I am a school principal, and I received a circular from the education administration stating that it is obligatory to deliver the salute to the flag and stand for it, and to have the students recite the national anthem. What is the ruling on this action? And am I to obey?

This is a sin without a doubt, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saidMishkat al-Masabih 3696. So if you can get out of it and not attend, do so.
