KS teacher steps on flag while discussing free speech rights
   

Free speech lesson in Towanda

A Kansas high school teacher has apologized and will change her lessons after parents objected when she stepped on a U.S. flag while discussing free speech rights in her history class.

Officials at Circle High School in Towanda said Jennifer McKinsey, a U.S. government and history teacher, stepped on a flag last week while discussing controversial behaviors that are protected by the First Amendment, The Wichita Eagle reported.

To illustrate the point and prompt class discussion, McKinsey took her personal American flag from the classroom wall, put it on the ground and stepped on it several times.

Cherie Davis, a parent of a Circle High student, complained in emails to the teacher and principal this week after a posting on her Facebook page prompted dozens of comments, including some that said McKinsey should be fired.

1. I see, a lesson that didn't take, a lesson that wasn't learned.
   
A real shame.

4. Or maybe it did.
   


The teacher expressed herself.

The parents expressed themselves.

Someone's behavior changed.

3. I keep typing different things and I keep coming back to **** Cherie Davis.
   
I'll stay with that.

Cherie Davis was the parent of the student who complained.

5. There's just a touch of hypocrisy in calling for firing someone for expressing their rights.
   
I'll just leave it at that.

9. Teacher backed away from her free speech rights
   
The Flag is a symbol of this country, it's ID card to the rest of the world. It is a ****ing SYMBOL, people.
And in the words of George Carlin: I'll leave symbols to the symbol-minded.

George Carlin, is probably DUmmie rustydog's spirit chicken guide now.

Yep, the teacher didn't learn a damn thing.

When one of the students didn't step up, knock hell out of her and defend the flag, it never dawned on her that some day, after all the liberal indoctrination, that no one will step up and defend her sorry ass.

Free speech is a one way street for the DUchebags.

What about stepping on a picture of 0?

There are other ways to express controversial free speech rights. If she had illustrated her point with a racist comments the DUmp would have seething with hatred. The stupid Kansas school teacher whose grammar skills rival that of a 3rd grader would be posting the letter to the editor to the state's largest newspaper. And getting accolades.

She can have all the freedom of speech she can shove down her pie hole -- just not on the public dime.

I don't recall stepping on American flags being approved curriculum for high school students by any school board in the country.
