Of course it's Austin so no big surprise

She taught them that it was ok to express a disagreement with the Pledge. The students asked if it was ok to protest by remaining seated. She explained it was their constitutional right....and as a result was punished by the school.
I'm not sure Harry Potter belongs in a public school curriculum either. Or Game of Thrones. Or Lord of the Rings.
Having worked in the school system for 13 years, I think teaching 3rd graders about the founding fathers, and the constitution is a good idea.I'm not sure Harry Potter belongs in a public school curriculum either. Or Game of Thrones. Or Lord of the Rings.
That said, i don't understand why the pledge of allegiance and constitution would be a problem. Except that constitutional principles and the ideals of the founding fathers are probably beyond kids who read at the 3rd grade level and don't read newspapers yet.

You glad that lefty Austin teacher got in trouble due to conservative objections to her lessons?
No, I don’t. She taught them that the pledge mandate was part of Cold War nationalist propaganda similar to the sort that solidified the Hitler movement and they had the right not to say the pledge and not to talk to police (besides identifying themselves), and the administration sacrificed her to appease the right-wingers who objected.Appears you have it assbackwards

What suggests the administration was "leftist"?So the leftist Austin administration did it for the right-wingers

What suggests the administration was "leftist"?
And? What do you think the teacher meant when she said (closely paraphrased) “you would expect this kind of thing to happen in West Texas, not here in Austin”?Austin, Texas
Thanks to rampant leftism, Austin, Texas, heads for Mad Max territory - American Thinker
As smart as you seem to be it's laughable when you plat dumb and ask such stupid questions, why even go there?
