Teacher Fired Over Refusal to Salute Flag in Las Vegas
Alvin Meinhold, a Clark County teacher in Las Vegas, was fired after he refused to salute the flag and faced threats and harassment. He planned to sue through the courts if the dismissal stands, saying the action was a quiet personal protest against bombing in Viet Nam and not an attempt to stop flag salutes. The teachers union said the act degraded the profession and harmed the image of teachers.
