#3 Maybe this teacher should teach in some other country of his/her choice. We will see how well he/she appreciates that country where some dictator's picture is required on the wall as well as the flag of the country.

#4 Suposedly he was not allowed to display his flag because he drew it at the 'wrong time', not because it was the flag.

Yeah.... good luck with that.

#8 Besoeker---Pretty good link! Reminds me of a story. A company of the 1st MarDiv found an opening and became the first to enter Shuri Castle in the battle for Okinawa. Buckner of the 10th army wanted someone in the Army to plant the American flag, but a Marine had a Confederate battle flag in his helmet, so the stars and bars was the first non-Japanese flag to fly from Shuri Castle (at least for a while).
