A teacher in southeastern Minnesota has been asked by high school administrators to remove a Ukrainian flag from her classroom, a flag her students asked her to display as a show of solidarity for the war-torn country.
Byron Public Schools Superintendent Mike Neubeck says district lawyers are reviewing the school systems policy covering what can be displayed in classrooms.
He said hes concerned that allowing the Ukrainian flag could lead to unwanted displays.
The co-president of the local teachers union, Justin Blom, says displaying the flag is one way for kids to identify and talk about bullying.

(9,478 posts)I say that sarcastically because the MAGATS would say that US policy should revolve around FREEDUM and Law and Order and that is what they may say that those flags represent.
I don't want supporters of the Israelis or the Palestinians putting up the respective flags in the classroom either.
