Shameful that a teacher would be fired for this.
That school could have used that as an educational tool. Instead, they acted like they're in Iran.
Completely disses all the people who died so we would have the right to step on or burn a piece of fabric that symbolizes our most precious freedom - the First Amendment.
The teacher sold that right, during school hours, for pay.
Not surprising you would defend the stupid teacher though.
Who would want a teacher so stupid as to not realize this was provocative, offensive behaviour in a classroom situation?
Wrong as usual.
Americans don't give up their First Amendment rights when they get to work every day.
And yes, I will always defend the First Amendment.
BUT, open your mind for just a moment and think about this:
We need to push the edge of the First Amendment envelope. Think of all the things that tick you off. Westboro, kkk, asshole white supremacists wanting a terrorist flag on a govt building. Or how about a shock jock or the publisher of Hustler, back when he pulled his stunts. Or, the lies from fox, the empty bluster from lusbo ............
The list is endless BECAUSE we have the First Amendment.
If we did not have the right to set fire to or step on a piece of fabric, we also would not have the right to sit here and yell at at each other.
I would not set fire to or walk on the flag. I despise the nazi-type assholes who want children, women, blacks, hispanics to shut up and home but I will always defend their right to be assholes and I always will.
