I can understand some Stalinist puke indoctocrat losing his $hit in a history/social studies class, but what in the hell does this have to do with an ENGLISH class ?
My psychology teacher in high school was pro-sandinista and showed us a pro-sandinista film in high school.
Two undeniable facts about this that demonstrate the idiot was pushing his own agenda rather than simply trying to make a point about symbolism:
The act of desecrating the US Flag (burning, defacing, stepping on, etc.) is a specific and overt political statement. NO ONE, especially a ‘college educated’ American, that knows the issues surrounding flag desecration doesn’t understand this.
If the idiot is simply trying teach students this concept, why physically take the actual flag and walk on it? There is an infinite number of images out there showing people doing what the teacher claims to be describing. Stomping of the flag was him expressing his personal beliefs.
The leftists in academia are unhinged and can't control their insane outbursts. I graduated from a fine and performing arts college with a B.A. in film & video, and for our commencement address I had to listen to some socialist blowhard give a rant against Creationism and the Iraq War. How this related to "arts" is beyond me.
