Marysville teacher told to take Thin Blue Line flag off wall

[TexasTowelie]

Is it comparable in educational value to a Black Lives Matter or Pride flag? The school district says no.


MARYSVILLE — School administrators urged a Marysville teacher to take a Thin Blue Line flag off her classroom wall earlier this month.

Supporters of police, including the teacher’s brother, who served on the Marysville force, say they disagree with the directive.

School district policy says district employees can’t use district time, property or other resources for political purposes.

Interim Superintendent Chris Pearson said that when concerns are raised about a political symbol, administrators first meet with the faculty member to assess whether there’s any educational value.

1. Good Decision - Other Teachers Might Put Up BLM Posters Etc.

The school is not the place for political fighting.

It would be nice if they taught real history, and real economics though.

2. Why don't they make their own flag instead of mutilating the US flag?
