This one involves an art project. A Salinas middle school student said her teacher stopped her from drawing the American flag, while another student's picture of President Obama was praised.
Tracy Hathaway said the art teacher at Gavilan View Middle School told her daughter she couldn't draw the American flag because it was offensive.

The teacher is an idiot, but the child has obviously been Godwashed by her parents and/or church. I'll bet the flag, by itself, might have been allowed. What wasn't allowed was a flag inundated by God Bless America (TWICE, no less), One Nation under God, and In God We Trust.
It offends me, too. (God 'n I get along just fine. It's the religious freaks who try to push him/her on everyone most of the time that I have trouble with. Stormin Mormon and Amway salesmen, y'know?) The media have found another scapegoat to hunt.
When are you folks gonna turn off your TV sets and stop buying into the hype that they call "news", hmm?
Well, those offend me at times, too. Proselytizing, especially. May Thor's hammer come down on them for it. ;)
Nuclear power.
Unless it's their own.
If I ever get pregnant, I want options, too.

How in the hell do you expect to be controlled if you continue to think for yourself and hold your own opinions?
Further you frustrate people taking political polls because if you do not think like everyone else in column A or column B how in the world will these folks classify you?
You have probably been reading books again haven't you?

Offensive to ideological subversive movements that have taken control of our educational system at all levels. Obviously the teacher disregarded the childs
2nd ammendment rights which can only be remadied by involking an involentary carrier change to spare future students the verbal chastisement this educator has in store for any pupil whos ideology does not align with hers.
