The family of Frankie Girard is claiming that their son?s civil rights were violated after a teacher allegedly told him that hanging his picture of the American flag would offend another student.

The Butterfield Elementary School is at the center of controversy for the incident on Monday. According to Frankie Girard?s father, John, the boy was in art class drawing a picture.

Some people read an article and have no filter.

Maybe Dad should teach the boy to tell the truth or tell the boy how many stripes are in the flag. I bet this teacher has a war on Christmas and Easter Eggs too

From the article: "Frankie's father told 22News that he is so outraged that he placed a call to the American Civil Liberties Union."

I find this ironic since DTB has long claimed the ACLU flies the hammer & sickle.

Maybe the kids drawing of the flag just sucked so bad that it would be offensive to other people :0002

There are protocols as to how the Flag may be displayed, and how it must be treated with reverence and respect.

Every day I see assholes flying tattered Flags, flying the Flag at night, defacing the Flag, using the Flag to adorn their clothing, cars and motorbikes, using the Flag to promote their wares and political campaigns, and in general being disrespectful slobs.

Perhaps this kids' rendering of the Flag was incorrect in some respect. In that case it would be absolutely improper to display it.

It's a sad, sad state of affairs when the general public is so ignorant.

It you don't know how to treat and respect the Flag, here -
