From article:

When this high school teacher was told by students that using the flag as a pointer was disrespectful, Jordan Parmenter became upset.   After losing his cool, he threw the flag on the ground and stomped on it in front of all the school students in his class.

According to the story, the students were offended by this action and put their heads down refusing to look at the teacher.
"“This is a situation in which I am proud of our students, Our students are standing up for our nation.” WTHI noted that several residents, including students, were protesting outside on school grounds earlier this week.” – Gina Gibson"

The Martinsville school district has placed the teacher on leave for the rest of the school year.

Personally we’re wondering why they didn’t fire him when he tried to get his students to do a essay on why Jews caused the Holocaust?
