Meh, I don't know why he did it. It's easier to show a toiling mob burning flags and chanting on TV, and you don't have to worry about the consequences (and if he didn't think there would be consequences, he shouldn't be a teacher).
This is something I'd expect from a college professor, maybe a high school poli-sci teacher, not a seventh grade teacher. Shock tactics to evoke opinions of a seventh grader? Color me confounded.
