LOUISVILLE, Kentucky (AP) -- A middle school teacher who burned two American flags as part of a civics lesson won't be charged, but may still face discipline from the school board, officials said Wednesday.
Dan Holden, who teaches seventh-grade social studies at Stuart Middle School, burned the flags last month during a lesson on freedom of speech. The students were asked to write an opinion paper about how they felt about it.
Bill Patteson, a spokesman for the Jefferson County Attorney's Office, said the evidence doesn't warrant filing a charge of criminal wanton endangerment -- causing significant risk of serious injury or death.
Holden was temporarily reassigned to a non-teaching role while the school district and police investigated the incident.
Lauren Roberts, a spokeswoman for Jefferson County Public Schools, said the district is still reviewing whether Holden endangered students or acted inappropriately.
Holden has repeatedly declined to comment.
