This is a serious incident but for some inappropriate reason I find it amusing. Anyway, this pretty much mirrors the Kaepernick incidents we have all been debating. For all we know it could have been inspired by it and performed deliberately.

This time, the government did intervene and fire/suspend the teacher. Which on the surface clearly violates the First Amendment. Going further, the content of the "speech" that got this teacher fired was advocacy of the First Amendment itself! However as I have claimed earlier, our government lately has been trampling (haha) on First Amendment rights so in all likelihood the courts today would uphold this suspension.

Maybe she stomped on a flag that didn't belong to her? Then she could be fired for property damage.

I guess some people go through that rebellious / puberty stage later in life.
