POLL: Should Illinois Teacher Be FIRED For STOMPING on the American Flag?



An Illinois town is in an uproar after a teacher allegedly stomped on a flag in front of his students.
Two parents of children at Martinsville High School were on “Fox and Friends” this morning to discuss the ordeal.
Gina Gibson said that the unnamed teacher was using the American flag as a pointer in the classroom, even though students objected to the flag being used in that manner.
She said the students cautioned the teacher not to let Old Glory touch the floor, and that’s when he stomped on the flag, telling his students that it was his right to do so.
Gibson said that some students – her son included – were sent to the office to be given detention for refusing to lift their heads off of their desks following the teacher’s actions.
“It’s just a horrible thing to happen in small town USA,” Gibson said. “We live in a small community to avoid these type of issues.”
Parent Daniel Truelove said that he supports the school’s administration, but he is protesting that someone stepped on the flag “on [his] dime.”
The teacher has been suspended through the end of the year, but Gibson said that she believes he should lose his job.
“You should never desecrate the flag in front of your students because you’re not teaching them respect for our country,” Gibson said.

JUST IN: FORMER PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA JUST SHOOK THE NATION WITH MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT

Imahe
Former President Barack Obama announced in a video on Wednesday that he is inviting civic leaders from around the globe to Chicago next month, where they will exchange ideas and plan ways to solve some of the world’s common problems. The inaugural Obama Foundation Leadership Summit “will be a place to gather and learn from one another, and then go back to your communities to lead others in the hard work of change,” Obama said in a video and email released to supporters. Obama said he expects the summit will bring together hundreds of leaders from around the world—many of them young people. The summit will be the beginning of several activities the Foundation is planning, Obama said: In the weeks and months ahead, we’ll be kicking off more initiatives and opportunities for people like you to get involved with the Obama Foundation’s mission. That mission is simple: We want to inspire and empower people to change the world.

Do You Still Stand With President Trump?

Imahe
Donald Trump is languishing in the polls as he approaches the 100-day mark in the White House, but a new survey released Thursday shows the president’s voters are still firmly in his corner. The overwhelming majority of Trump voters surveyed by the University of Virginia Center of Politics, 93 percent, approve of the job Trump is doing as president. Only 7 percent of voters who said they cast their ballot for Trump now disapprove of his performance, the poll shows. “Trump voters are extraordinarily loyal and supportive of the guy they voted for last November,” said Republican pollster Glen Bolger, who conducted the poll and focus groups for the school. “All the controversy, all the stuff you read in media about how it’s chaotic, how they don’t have their act together — they don’t see it.” That sentiment — the idea that what some see as dysfunction in the White House is viewed by many Trump voters as disruptive action — was backed up by focus groups cond

Will You Buy a Copy of Barack Obama’s New Book?

Imahe
The publishers involved in the auction for “the most hotly anticipated publishing deal of the year” include Penguin Random House, which published Obama’s previous three books, and HarperCollins, which ironically is owned by Rupert Murdoch’s News. Simon & Schuster, which is owned by CBS, and Macmillan, are also in the mix. As the FT points out, a win by HarperCollins would bring the Obamas into the same publishing house as Bill O’Reilly, the author and Fox News Channel presenter who has been one of the former president’s fiercest critics. For now, Penguin Random House is reportedly leading the pack for the publishing deal with a decision on the winning bid expected imminently. With the price set to surpass $60 million, the sum offered would eclipse other book deals secured by departing presidents, and would be four times greater than the $15 million Bill Clinton received from Knopf, a division of Penguin Random House, for his 2004 memoirs My Life when he left the Whi
