Ahhh, that makes sense Rekna. He has been teaching since 1979, and considered a good teacher, but the burning of two flags seemed excessive to me.
Reading the article, it states that he has not been fired nor has he resigned, but working in an admin function for now. Maybe things have changed since the above article, but it would seem a good middle ground until the dust settles.
Did anyone else get the impression that it was the kids that exaggerated the "burning of the flag" to their parents? I would cut the parents some slack, if they believed a teacher was bringing personal politics into the classroom.
I would applaud his means of engaging his students, except for one thing. The article doesn't state where he set fire to the flags, but if it was on school property he put the school's, or even the state's liability insurance in jeopardy. I would consider that very poor judgement on his part, given his years of experience.
My 2 cents
