Teacher Fired For Using Confederate Flag Accurately in History Class

Teacher Forced Out for Using Confederate Flag in Civil War History Lesson- Steve Byas

“He’s personally my favorite teacher in the whole school,” Ana Kneisely told CBS Sacramento, in reference to a middle school American History teacher, Woody Hart, in Rancho Cordova, California, who was forced to retire by the Board of Education.
Hart, a 70-year-old teacher at Suttle Middle School of the Folsom Cordova United School District, was ousted after using a Confederate battle flag, along with a period United States flag, as part of a lesson on the U.S. Civil War. The school’s superintendent, Deborah Bettencourt, released a statement late last week that the board of education had “accepted this Sutter Middle School teacher’s retirement ... and he will not be returning to school this year.”
For example, Hart used the two flags of the opposing sides in the Civil War to create interest. The two hanging flags were part of Hart’s lesson, as students were members of one of the two armies.
Kneisely added that she did not understand why Hart's display of the flag of one of the two sides involved in the war was controversial, the considering that the flags, including the Confederate flag, are also used in the textbook
And, with the Confederate battle flag, Hart was teaching his class accurate history as to the use of the flag — in battles during the Civil War.
It is not clear how the display of a flag, which was actually used in many battles during the American Civil War, creates an unsafe learning environment for children. And, exactly what is meant by “culturally appropriate strategies?”
Unbelievable. But not really.

One could argue the USA has done far more atrocities than the CSA ever did.
Where is the principal's concern for her student emulating that behavior?

He retired and it's still under review.
He should have stood his ground if he cared as much as you.

Game developer would probably be arrested now.

Will they still try to say Andersonville was worse that Camp Douglas?

As a big time Civil War buff, and as a lover of history in general, this story pisses me off.

You can't destroy a country without first destroying it's history.
