FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. – A North Carolina teacher who stomped on the American flag as part of a high school lesson on the First Amendment has been suspended as district officials investigate.
“I put it on the ground and I used my right foot and I took two steps on it, and immediately two kids get out of the room,” Massey Hill Classical High School teacher Lee Francis told WNCN.
