#1 How can young kids gain a perspective on reality when they are under the influence of nutbags & commies like this fool?

#2 He might have got away with it in CA, but in Kentucky hmmmmmm.

#3 A better didatic tool as well as a memorable pedagogical act would have been had the teacher gone Buddhist on the kids and set himself afire. Now that's one lesson the kiddies would remember for the rest of their lives.

#4 Just like burning a cross in the classroom would be accepted as a demonstration of 'free speech'. I'm sure the local Fire Marshal was impressed too.

#5 SOP35. Just look at the 19 year-olds passing through Boot. They've just been through 12 years of Public School PC indoctrination and there's NOTHING wrong with them.

The PC left is losing. Badly.

I'm not as convinced. For every 19 y/o who wants to serve his country and has his head on straight, there's another 19 y/o who goes to a radical leftist University instead, and comes out a good little PC moonbat. If the PC left is losing so badly, how does a PC cretin like Algore get half the vote, or a lying socialist leftist like Kerry get nearly half? I don't see the recession of PC, but the advance. You can hardly breathe any more without some PC bastard telling you it's wrong.

What's the old saying? The first step in fixing a problem is admitting you have one.

#8 Perhaps we can bring copies of ACLU legal briefs into their offices and burn them. Free speach.

#9 "For every 19 y/o who wants to serve his country and has his head on straight, there's another 19 y/o who goes to a radical leftist University instead..."

And volunteers to become a nugget. The kids I've seen have their heads screwed on straight (well, for 19 that is) But at either 19 and enlisted or 23 and officer, we are getting good people. By and large, the kids have finely tuned BS detectors and can spot a phony a mile away. And your modern leftist is nothing, if not a phony. Thus the "WTF" response to an in-school desecration of the flag.

The Xbox360 generation will do just fine.

Of course having said that, there are the few dew-eyed in the save the gay NAZI whales t-shirts. But not many, which is why at most college demonstrations and such, you get more faculty than students. This is the BEST the left can do today.

#10 Here in KY the folks won't take kindly to this, honest teaching point or not. ACLU will have no effect, this guy's a gonner from teaching and should take care out in the parking lot.

#11 I think the school would be wise to focus on the fire danger of this stunt. As much as I disagree with his act, flag-burning is not illegal, and dragging the ACLU into it just--pardon the expression--fans the flames.

#12 no coincidence my son's about to enter the Army, and reads my National Review magazines. He's also a gamehead with excellent hand-eye coordination. I don't think he would've just sat there and let the teacher burn our flag - think of an 18yr old Rick Monday

Ok, I'm hoping really, really hard I don't put my foot in it again and learn about another cameltoe, but what is a nugget?

#14 "...but what is a nugget?"

A butter bar! The most junior of junior officers. Their collar devices are a single gold bar.

#17 Too bad he just didn't burn a mexican flag.
