The principles comment:
“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”
... seems to be some conflict of stories here. If it was a doodle and not apart of the current assignment, I can understand the, no we are not going to hang it up. If you did that as a policy, a student could “ditch” an assignment in class by drawing instead of working. Moral hazard and all.
Bears repeating. Goofing off is goofing off. Rewarding that sort of thing is why we have so many self-entitled little brats running things now.
