COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado â The superintendent of Academy School District 20 responded Wednesday to an online petition questioning the recent display of a confederate battle flag in a middle school classroom. The petition was posted to change.org three weeks ago by Hailey Schramm, a substitute teacher. More than 26,000 people have signed their names in support.
Schramm wrote in the post that she created the petition after contacting both the district and principal and that it seemed that neither had a problem with the flag being displayed for, "educational purposes."
