ok, theres lots of missing information here...
they said he had several flags hung, but later said he
refused to remove the flags of china and mexico.
sooooo did he have a collection and refuse to take down
those two in particular? did several flags mean he had
up just 3 ... u.s., mexico and china?
hard to really make a judgement without more detail.
with that said, for goodness sake, he is a geography
teacher! flags of nations around the world should
certainly be considered teaching aids.
now, the high school i graduated from, aka "the shopping
mall" (yes, it was that big!!!) had flags from every country
(i believe) hanging from the ceiling down the main corridor.
never were they taken down, never a problem with them
being there.
Last spring I went to the school open house with my niece. Imagine my disgust when I found flags from all 50 states hanging in a Michigan classroom. I wanted to drag the teacher out for a public stoning in the parking lot but they wouldn't let me. They "claimed"the flags were for educational purposes but I think it was blatant anti-Michiganianism.
