How do you feel about the Idaho teacher Clint Straatman who threw a students Mexican flag in the trash?

I personally see it as a violation of that student's civil rights to celebrate his national holiday.

    The teacher sounds ignorant and racist. When he states his fear that “white kids” may have a problem with the flag he is simply projecting. He obviously had a problem with the flag; therefore all whites must have a problem with the flag. Instead of creating an atmosphere where kids learn appreciation for other cultures he is fostering an environment that allows students to take pride in ignorance and being disrespectful to others. . The teacher should be fired and I hope the kid sues. -

    If the little punk has so much national pride in Mexico, he should go there and wave his flag.
