I'm amazed so many freepers are siding with this teacher.

citing a Colorado law that makes it illegal to display foreign flags permanently in schools

Here's the way it works. The LEGISLATURE decides what laws to pass, not this (undoubtedly leftwing) teacher. The teacher is free to lobby for a change in law, if he wishes. If he chooses civil disobedience, as he apparently has here in what is undoubtedly a political stunt (probably at the behest of the ACLU), then he has no basis to complain when he is fired.

So for those of you who back the teacher, how does that work out for you when you, say, get a speeding ticket? Or decide not to pay your taxes? Do you whine and moan, saying since you personally don't agree with the law, it's unfair for the government to enforce it against you?

I'd wager that the "teacher" is a card carring ACLU member.

There are many stupid laws on the books in many states. For instance, in North Dakota it is still legal to shoot Native Americans provided you circle the wagons before hand. This is an example of an extremely stupid law; one that should go unheeded.

Iran has laws that change the names of things to avoid "undesirable" western influences too.

Some of the respones here are chastising the teacher are ludicris. No wonder so many people think that conservatives are crazy when they can equate displaying flags of other countries in a geography class with not paying taxes and speeding.

Tell us how you can justify suspending a geography teacher for displaying flags in a classroom.

Why those poor students might actually learn and remember what other flags look like. Oh, the horror!
