If he discussed the pros and cons of banning flag burning it would be fine with me. To me the safety issue is huge. Lighting something on fire could have started a much larger fire. Depending on the school's fire protection such as fire walls, sprinklers, etc at the very minimum it could have caused major smoke and water damage from fire hoses or sprinklers. At the worst a large fire could have started possibly causing injury or death to students, teachers, or fire and police. If anything he should be charged with reckless endangerment.

I never said he didn't have the right to burn the flag. I just said I think it was stupid on his part and unsafe to do indoors for sure. If he would have read the Bible to the students for the entire class for the purpose of indoctrination I would be against it. If an outside group were to come in and speak or read the Bible, I wouldn't have a problem as long as equal access was given to other groups with different views. And if he chose a side in a controversial political position to the point of emphasising it without showing the other side...this would also be indoctrination. When he is teaching children his speech is limited. He can't indoctrinate. I'm not saying he was indoctrinating here. I just think his choice was stupid. I think you missed the point.

Then it's rah-rah-rah. What if the teacher had exercised his right to free speech by reading from the Bible for an entire class period? Point being, what is desirable and what is permissble don't always match up. Get used to it.
