Oh how I wish the cops could have stood back and let the bikers take care of the "weenies" as the NY Post so accurately labeled them.

Sadly, I doubt the flag-burning morons learned anything from this.


In other flag abuse news, I'll bet this knucklehead doesn't understand why he got fired.

Quote:
A teacher in eastern Illinois has been fired for stepping on a small U.S. flag during a lesson on free speech.

The Martinsville School District board voted 6-0 to fire English teacher Jordan Parmenter. Martinsville is about 80 miles southeast of Champaign near the Indiana state line.

The district had placed Parmenter on leave after the May 15 incident.

Parmenter has said he used the flag as a pointer during a lesson on free speech at Martinsville Junior-Senior High School.

A student complained that the teacher was being disrespectful, and Parmenter said he then stepped on the flag as an example of free speech.

Parmenter declined to comment about being fired. He said he plans to speak to his union representative.

And this will resolve everything and he'll be back to work shortly.

We had a similar issue when I was in high school. We were reading Fahrenheit 451 and my English teacher burned a Bible as an object lesson. Needless to say that didn't go over really well in my extremely religious small town.

He shoulda burned the book instead. Hated Fahrenheit 451.

with back pay, an increase, compensation for trampling his rights, and a letter from the school system that basically says this guy in untouchable as long as he wants his job
