Kentucky High School Art Teacher Has Students Stand on American Flag ................................................................................................................. by William Bigelow 1 Sep 2013 breitbart.com As Kathleen Fox with The Paducah Sun reported, an art teacher at a Kentucky High School set up an exhibit where students were supposed to stand on an American flag while they wrote how they felt about it. Art teacher Shand Stamper at McCracken High School in Paducah set a music stand with paper to write on on top of the flag so that students could contemplate their feelings and then note them. The exhibit was a re-creation of “Dread” Scott Tyler’s 1989 "artwork" titled “The Proper Way to Display an American Flag.” me, at the Art Space in the Raleigh The exhibit was a re-creation of “Dread” Scott Tyler’s 1989 "artwork" titled “The Proper Way to Display an American Flag.” Paducah residents were furious. One wrote,“The teacher should be fired and run out of town. I have a son serving to protect this flag at this very moment.” Another added, “It is a sad day when the symbol of this great nation is relegated to occupy the floor. It is a truly sorrowful day when the one who placed it there has the nerve to ask, ‘How does it make you feel?’” A third offered,“I doubt this teacher intended the disrespect her art project exhibited. But nonetheless, it was really a despicable assignment.” The teacher, Shand Stamper, did apologize: “I love our flag and the nation it stands for. I love the freedom I enjoy because of our brave veterans. I feel sick and deeply sad that through my actions I have dishonored these men and women and also poorly represented you all, (To say) I am devastated by my actions bringing outrage and negativity on you is a gross understatement.” Michael Ceglinski, the principal, stated that Stamper had erred, and continued that the display had not received approval by the administrators or the school. He said, “We (McCracken County High School) don’t condone this action and we handled it immediately and appropriately.” Nancy Waldrop, the superintendent of McCracken County Schools, interviewed by TV station WSPD, said the flag, according to protocol, would be burned because it had touched the ground.

NY Schools Chancellor backs principal's decision to drop 'GOD Bless the USA' song, keep Bieber By SUSAN EDELMAN, SALLY GOLDENBERG and LEONARD GREENE http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/brooklyn/school_boss_oks_song_nix_hDgrE99kCTKAcBJNqhM9UJ#ixzz1xaLQAgbS They’re proud to be un-American. City Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcottis standing behind a Brooklyn principal’s controversial decision to pull the plug on a popular patriotic song that was scheduled to be performed at a kindergarten graduation. PS 90 Principal Greta Hawkinswon’t allow the boys and girls to belt out Lee Greenwood’s ballad “GOD Bless the USA” because it’s not “age appropriate.” And Walcott yesterday said that’s fine by him. “It’s her judgment to make that decision,” Walcott said. “It’s important to reinforce that they start out the morning every day of the school year with the Pledge of Allegiance and ‘America the Beautiful,’ and that, to me, is what this country is about, and they celebrate that, and that’s how we should start our day. “You have to really wonder about some of the lyrics in the song, so I have to rely on the principal’s judgment along that line.” Walcott was responding to The Post’s story about Hawkins’ unpopular decision to ditch the ditty after marching in on a rehearsal for the June 20 moving-up ceremony. Still on the the playlist was Justin Bieber’s “Baby,” a flirty song about teenage romance. At issue, according to a Department of Education spokeswoman, are lyrics from the tune’s opening verse: “If tomorrow all the things were gone/I’d worked for all my life/And I had to start again/with just my children and my wife.” They were deemed inappropriate for the 5-year-olds. Staffers quoted Hawkins as saying, “We don’t want to offend other cultures.” Parents and teachers angry over Hawkins’ decision yesterday launched a Facebook page demanding her ouster. “If the DOE has any brains they should remove her tomorrow,’’ seethed one angry anonymous staffer in a posting. “We were the victims of 9/11.It hit New York really hard. That song became famous because of that tragedy. Removing that song is horrific. It’s opening the wound again.” Hawkins could not be reached for comment. Progressives don't like America and they want children to be taught to share their unpatriotic opinions.
