Part X The Lefts Assault On American Values

Another California teacher has problems with America.  How can a teacher in America teaching our children think the American flag is offensive?  Is it California or is it the teachers?  An art teacher at Gavilan View Middle School in California’s Santa Rita School District thinks drawing the flag is “offensive.”

Tracy Hathaway, of Salinas, CA, told FOX News Radio her 13-year-old daughter was ordered to stop drawing the American flag.   “She had drawn the flag and was sketching the letters, ‘God bless America,’ when the teacher confronted her,” Hathaway told FOX. “She said, ‘You can’t draw that – that’s offensive.’”

Another student in the same art class drew a picture of Barack Hussein Obama and was praised by the teacher.  “The picture of Barack Obama was in red, white and blue hues,” Hathaway said. “The teacher said it was great. But when it comes to the flag – all of a sudden it was offensive?”

Hathaway said she took her concerns to the principal and he was “floored” and apologized for what happened. He arranged a meeting with the Hathaway’s and the teacher.   “My husband point-blank asked her what she found offensive about the picture the American flag or the words, ‘God Bless America,’” she said. “The teacher didn’t say a word.”

Hathaway said she was especially concerned that a picture of President Obama was praised yet a picture of the American flag was deemed offensive.  Hathaway is right.  How can a teacher deem a picture of the flag “offensive” and a picture of Obama be praised? 

“That showed where she stood in the political spectrum,” said Tracy Hathaway “But this was not a political class. This was not a religious class. This was an art class.  My daughter wasn’t trying to break any rules and she wasn’t trying to create a scene.  She was just expressing her view and saying this is America and I want God to bless it.”

Hathaway said her daughter has yet to receive an apology and in fact the teacher told the girl that she should not have gotten her parents involved in the matter.

“My daughter felt like her rights were being trampled on she was doing what she thought was right.” she said. “It’s disturbing. It really is disturbing. When I was in junior high we didn’t have a lot of the problems they are having now. We were allowed to speak our mind. It’s absolutely devastating for me. Last time I looked, this is America. This is still a free country.”

Why is the teacher still teaching?  The teacher has shown they are not capable of leaving their  liberal socialist bias outside the classroom.  We can all have our political viewpoints, but you don’t tell a 13 year old child the American flag is offensive and refuse to apologize for it.
