Teacher Stomps On Flag; Gets Permanent Paid Vacation
Another South Carolina teacher made the news this week. This time, Scott Compton, an English Teacher at Chapin High School in Chapin, SC, took an American flag and threw it on the floor and stomped on it as a demonstration in three of his English classes. He claimed it was just a piece of cloth that didn’t mean anything. School disagreed, and sent him on paid administrative leave, which means he still draws a salary to sit at home, as is common with unionized teachers.

A high school teacher in South Carolina is under investigation and has been placed on long-term administrative leave after he allegedly threw an American flag on the floor and stomped on it in front of his students.
Scott Compton, an English teacher at Chapin High School in Chapin, S.C., reprised the unpatriotic deed in three classes over the course of one day.
“Then he proceeds to take down the American flag, and said, ‘This is a symbol, but it’s only a piece of cloth. It doesn’t mean anything,’ and then he throws it down on the floor and then stomps on it, repeatedly,” Copeland continued.
“I asked what was he trying to get, the point across? And she said, ‘I don’t know,’ and he said, his explanation was there would be no consequences, it’s just a piece of cloth that doesn’t mean anything.”
Perhaps ironically, however, Compton would soon face consequences.
Mark Bounds, a spokesperson for the school district, told WIS that the district frequently cautions teachers to avoid introducing personal opinions in the classroom.
“Our superintendent served in the military, I served in the military for 20 years, our flag is a symbol of our freedom, and so many people have fought and died for that liberty, and so we take this action very seriously,” Bounds added.
So what is the symbol of horrible Obama-voting teachers in America? Scott Compton. They should just fire his ass and be over it. Then he can enjoy all the Obama benefits- EBT card, unemployment and disability.
