ORANGE, Mass. (WWLP) - A civil rights controversy is brewing at an elementary school in the Town of Orange, and it all surrounds an11 year-old's drawing of the American Flag. . .

22News tried to contact the Superintendent, Dr. Paul Burnim. He refused to go on camera, but told 22News over the phone that nobody ever told Franklin the drawing was offensive, and said the only reason it wasn't hung was because Franklin was supposed to be doing other work; not drawing a picture.

This is a controversy? The kid wasn't doing his schoolwork. He needs a smack on the rear, possibly a timeout, and to start paying attention in class.

...or learning the meaning of some other countries reason for their hatred of America and writing letters to their children apologizing for our arrogance...
