From the article....
22News tried to contact the Superintendent, Dr. Paul Burnim. He refused to go on camera, but told 22News over the phone that nobody ever told Franklin the drawing was offensive, and said the only reason it wasn’t hung was because Franklin was supposed to be doing other work; not drawing a picture. In a statement he said: “Each of our schools flies the American Flag every day. At the Butterfield School, the Pledge of Allegiance is recited by students and staff. And the other schools recite the Pledge of Allegiance at least once per week.”

I - upthread - jumped to the conclusion that this was yet another exhibition of anti-Americanism in our public schools. It’s way too easy to make that assumption.
But. I can see that if little Frankie was goofing off, then yeah. This is not an issue of being denied the right to hang a flag drawing in the classroom.
It’s possible that Frankie and his family are crying foul, just to deflect the heat away from them.
Now. Having said that.... Back to public school bashing.
It was art class, during free draw time.
