Many parents are furious about the film, which has since been taken down.
Teacher Pitzen from the Newport Mesa School District in Orange County said in the video, “I put it away somewhere I don’t remember, and I haven’t found it yet.” The seriousness of the situation didn’t come through in her tone.
People are worried that Pitzen is teaching her children to disrespect the American flag by the choice she made.
People are also wondering how the teacher does the morning Pledge of Allegiance. Some people are worried about the values she is teaching her kids because she doesn’t take a strong stand on a national patriotic tradition.
There was a quick backlash, with many parents voicing anger and disappointment. They say Pitzen’s acts hurt the values of patriotism and honouring the American flag. As the controversy goes on, people are still wondering how Pitzen’s lessons have affected her students and the society as a whole.
The event has led to a bigger discussion about how teachers shape the values and beliefs of their students. Some people support Pitzen’s right to make the classroom a safe place to learn, while others think she went too far. No matter how long the argument lasts, one thing is certain: the choice to take down the American flag will be remembered by many in the community.
