College Fix Staff •November 17, 2018
A substitute teacher at a Missouri high school allegedly was told “not to come back†after he thanked his students for standing for the Pledge of Allegiance.
According to the Daily Mail, “at least one student†said he felt “singled out†and “bullied†after Jim Furkin, a substitute for many years at Parkway South High School in St. Louis, offered his thanks.
Furkin said one of two students who did not stand up had asked to see a school counselor after the his expression of gratitude — which included saying “I’m sure all of those families that lost loved ones so we could have the freedoms we have today would appreciate that, too.â€
