    • I know we have a lot of great teachers out there, but it is the few without some common sense and good values that are giving the rest of the educators a bad name. First the superintendent who will not let the kid go to the prom and now this....:(

    ORANGE, Mass. (WWLP) - A civil rights controversy is brewing at an elementary school in the Town of Orange, and it all surrounds an11 year-old's drawing of the American Flag.
    The family of Frankie Girard is claiming that their son's civil rights were violated after a teacher allegedly told him that hanging his picture of the American flag would offend another student.
    The Butterfield Elementary School is at the center of controversy for the incident on Monday. According to Frankie Girard?s father, John, the boy was in art class drawing a picture.
    "He was denied hanging the flag up. And, he asked if he could just even hang it on his desk, and he was told no. He could take the picture that he drew and take it home and be proud of it there,? Girard said.
     
    seriously, so is the student who would be offended by the picture of the flag offended by the flag that is more than likely hanging in front of the school? They do hang them in front of schools still don't they? Now I have to look next time...

    If someone is offended by the American flag in the U.S. then they should do their best to find their ass in another country.

    It's stories like this that lead me to think the terrorists have already won.

    That and the fact that TSA people think I'm going to hijack a fucking Airbus with a pair of nail clippers and a full size bottle of shampoo.

    ...

    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.
