TEACHER WHO WAS SUSPENDED AFTER STOMPING ON AMERICAN FLAG GETS $85,000 TAXPAYER-FUNDED PAYOUT

In January, TheBlaze reported that a Chapin High School English teacher in Chapin, South Carolina, allegedly threw an American flag on the ground during class instruction and then stomped on it — an action that drew intense controversy.

Following the incident, Scott Compton was suspended from his job. Now, it’s being reported that $85,000 of taxpayer funds was paid out to the educator to avoid a legal challenge following his suspension.

But this isn’t the only sum of money that is being afforded to Compton following his controversial actions. Despite being out of the classroom since December, the teacher will continue receiving his salary through June 7, The State reports. Additionally, $31,500 in legal fees will come from taxpayer funds.

I hate paying this slime a dime, but it's better to get him out of the classroom teaching our mush mind children. good riddance.

Did the teacher hurt a student or put a kid in danger? NO! Then he shouldn't have been suspended in the first place. As usual, the people who screamed the loudest likely didn't have a clue as to what the point of the lesson was. But as usual, the school's admin. cowtailed to these screaming fools instead of getting down to the facts of the matter.
