Illinois Teacher Stomps On American Flag In Front Of Children, And Then THIS Happens According to recent reports, a teacher in Illinois is facing some serious backlash after stomping on the American flag in a public school. Parmenter was an employee of the Martinsville school district in a tiny rural town. On Thursday, the board voted 6 to 0 to fire Parmenter. His dismissal was immediate. Previous, Parmenter had been placed on administrative leave after he stomped on a U.S. flag in class in mid-May of last year. Students claim he was using the American flag as a pointer. When a student argued that his use of Old Glory was disrespectful, he dropped the flag on the floor and started stepping right on it. He talked about it being the right to do whatever he wants, one student recalls. Thats why it was there so he could do whatever he wants, but we have no idea why he would actually take it down and basically start all this. Parmenter later wrote a letter of apology for his actions, claiming that he was teaching a lesson on free speech. What do you think? Do you support the schools decision?
