CHAPIN, S.C. — A South Carolina high school teacher fired after stomping on the American flag wants his job back.

The State newspaper reports Friday (http://bit.ly/WAshK8) that former Chapin High School teacher is asking the Lexington-Richland District 5 school board to overturn his firing. Officials say the seven-member board will decide Monday when to hear the appeal, which Scott Compton wants to hold in private.

Compton was let go after he talked glowingly about the U.S. and the importance of embracing freedom while stomping on an American flag in his classroom last month.

His attorney has said Compton's action wasn't intended to be disrespectful and was an effort to promote discussion in three honors English classes on how the nation is much more than its symbols.

This teacher didn't use common sense in front of his students, because he has not served in the military, found in any war, and he is not respectful of the blood and tears that has been shed thru the years to display it freely.....Yes he messed up but he is an adult and he knew better.....He should not teach students ever again......His firing should stand.

American taxes pay that teacher's salary. I do not care if you are a teacher or what is being called our president. If you do not care for America then GET OUT!
