The only thing I would question in this post is that kids are being taught not to respect the flag. It may be different in the classroom now than it was when we were kids, but I really doubt anyone is deliberately telling kids the flag is not worthy.

Do you not know that in many states in many schools children no longer recite the pledge of alligence because "it may be offensive to others"? Do you not know that parents are suing school districts (and winning) to keep their children from having to say the pledge because it's offensive to them? This is becoming common news. Our flag, it's history and it's pride are under attack in many schools in many states across the USA.
I don't know your age, but those who attend school today are being taught things that are much, much different than people who attended school even 20 years ago. It's a very different world today, especially in states such as NY, CA & MA. The never-ending push by the PC crowd to see that no one is ever offended by anything, ever is taking a deep toll in our schools all around the country.
