Teacher allegedly refused to hang child’s flag drawing
◼ 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.
Frankie’s father told 22News that he is so outraged that he placed a call to the American Civil Liberties Union.
Note: School Superintendent, Dr. Paul Burnim “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.”
◼ A Facebook group called “I support Frankie Girard and the U.S. Flag” already has about 700 likes in two days. (Make that 4,507 as of noon 5/13)
