Its not the act of burning a flag, but the meaning of the act that SHOULD be taken into consideration. If the teacher meant to be anti-American, that's his right. If the teacher was trying to simply teach a lesson in freedom of speech, he actually taught them that fear and mob rule overrides the first amendment. As of right now, flag burning isn't illegal, and unless the teacher broke a rule the school has no right to punish him (espically under the guise of 'safety' what kind of idiots do they take us for?!).
