In that same vein...though not illegal, our local school has a 8th grade social studies teacher that has for the past THREE years spent class time telling the students where the middle finger usage came from and how it is NOT an obscene gesture whatsoever...This when he should be teaching US History!
I would ask, do you think the school board would think it was acceptable have a bunch of eighth graders show up to the televised school board meetings 'flipping the bird'. Or is it responsible behavior for that teacher to okay such gestures when a kid might flip the bird when he was driving through a questionable neighborhood i.e; a notoriously gang ridden, scary area? I think not.
Parents have complained but nothing has been put in this teachers file for the past three years, apparently because no administrators have bothered to tell parents they need to file a formal complaint with the teachers union. I doubt that OP would have much influence unless he goes to the school board or the press. And teachers wonder why they get such a bad wrap at times!
