#1 Go figure. Fox should post the teachers name. The superintendant should fire the teacher. If it was some islamic icon thatthe teacher had removed, that teacher would be fired.

#4 the teacher should be given the chose of resigning or explaining to the entire student body why she felt the flag was offensive and then answering their questions.

#5 It's a teaching moment and her answers would be enlightening to the entire PTA and student body and I'm sure with a little heads up some of the kids could come up with some pretty good questions.

#6 The teacher is employed by a school that waves an American Flag, which is overseen by a state that also waves the same. If this flag is offensive to her, she should quit. If not, she should be terminated and loose all capability to ever teach in any school system; Forever.
I would not want her to give personal opinions to my child or any other child!

#7 I suspect given the choice she would resign rather than face public humiliation over explaining her views. A public airing would be helpful as I believe she would be humiliated and her views along with her.

#8 I'm sure she'd be welcomed into the San Francisco school district.

If they didn't just lay off a couple hundred teachers that is.
