A Lesson On Free Speech...

quote [ In North Carolina, Massey Hill Classical High School teacher Lee Francis invoked Texas v. Johnson, the 1989 Supreme Court case that overturned bans on desecrating the United States flag.

And then, to demonstrate that point, he desecrated a flag. Specifically, he stepped on it three times — or “stomped” on it, depending on who you ask. ]

It's one thing if any parents had complained, but this straight up government employees trying to violate this man's First Amendment rights, and sadly, helping him demonstrate his point.

I agree with your "could have but shouldn't have" arguement. You can substitute "burn the Koran" for "stomp on the national flag" if you want mull over a parallel case to see how it sits with you.

Either act falls outside of appropriate behavior in a high school classroom.

I agree with your "legally could have but still shouldn't have" argument. You can substitute "burn the Koran" for "stomp on the national flag" if you want mull over a parallel case.

Either act falls outside of appropriate behavior in a high school classroom.
