An English teacher has been fired because he did not want to display an American flag in his Catholic school classroom.
Stephen Kobasa, a teacher at Kolbe Cathedral High School since 1999, says he is not unpatriotic but has deep-seated religious beliefs that are incompatible with displaying a flag.
"Christ speaks of compassion without boundaries," said Kobasa, a peace activist. "Flags are about separation, assertions of superiority and aggression. The whole notion that loyalty to country is connected to one's religious faith is totally bizarre and unjustified."
