I never said that. Spare us the sarcasm and go reread the article (from various sources if you have to).

That's exactly what it sounded like he did to me.

What kind of child thinks of protesting the flag at school over their race? Doing the pledge is just a fun little exercise you do along with your classmates in a normal student's mind. I bet you this student is just a thorn in the class's and teacher's side in general.

It is basically a "First Amendment Retaliation" Complaint. These have been litigated before with success.

Yeah you win your case for being "First Amendment Retaliated" against usually just as long as your speech is leftist oriented and you're not a member of the white identity group. It's just like with EEOC complaints.

Please, You are the one who suggested that this teacher should just shut up. Sarcasm is what you deserved. Deal with it.

ALL i have said is that this article in OP did not give out a lot of information for me to come up with a reasonable conclusion.

She's frightened

, intimidated

, and suffering from distress and anxiety.

Boo-hoo. The brat is simply ticked that the teacher responded.

Call it a "teachable moment." As an adult, she'll see a lot of that.

This an IMPORTANT post.

"He was only expressing his opinion about the matter."

If SHE is FREE to do what she WANTS under the 1st amendment of the Constitution,Constitution SO IS HE, Freedom of Speech goes BOTH WAYS.

A teacher should NEVER embarrass a student in front of the class, NEVER.
