I can guarantee you that this teacher was "retired" for a plethora of reasons and not simply because he displayed the Confederate Battle Flag in class. That was probably the straw that broke the camel's back.
That's pure conjecture.

That's pure conjecture.
But of you read the local news stories (linked on previous page), you'll see there was a formal complaint files against him regarding "hanging of all blacks equally."
Now if you go by the complaint, it appears somewhat racist. If you go by his story, he was just providing an example of what "Southerners" would say, so he's presented a stereotypical and insulting view of Southerners.
So one one hand, he could be racist; on the other hand, he could have bigoted views of the South. At the very least, a history teacher should be able to provide a better example, especially since, you know, the whole civil rights movement was based on equality.
But of course, he can't give the example of the Southerners argument of equality, as if there weren't numerous supreme Court cases and laws dealing with "separate but EQUAL."
