Lesson Plan #1: Bring in a person in blackface (because a black person wouldn't participate), put a leash on him, and lead him around the room. The students will never forget this lesson on US history in regard to slaves.
Lesson Plan #2: Come dressed as Hitler, and deliver some of his more "emotion-evoking" rhetoric. None of the students will ever forget.
Smacks of bigotry? Of course. But if flag-burning is protected speech, so are the above.
Someone needs to get a grip, but it isn't the people protesting the grossly inappropriate behavior of the flag burner.
