Teacher suspended after stomping on American flag in class

“He talked about it being the right to do whatever he wants"

An Illinois public school teacher has been placed on leave for the rest of the school year after allegedly placing an American flag on the floor of his classroom last week and stepping on it.

The teacher, who has not been identified, was apparently giving a lesson to students at Martinsville Junior/Senior High School about freedom of speech and expression, and used the flag as a prop.

Students reported the incident on Facebook, drawing national attention.

“We can’t figure out why he actually went to the simulations of actually doing it,” Jonathon Smith, a senior at Martinsville Junior/Senior High School, was quoted as saying by TristateHomePage.com.

Yes, our flag is holy. Countless men and women died to protect our freedom and keep our nation FREE. So that others coming after them would have life, liberty, and freedom. Freedom to even say stupid things. Our nation's flag represents life, death, struggles, setbacks, and great progress for our people. People died, a great deal of people died, and so I say our flag is holy and deserves respect even from some bottom dweller like yourself.
