Jeffco School District's Primary School Viet Cong Flag Assignment

When my son was in kindergarten, he had to draw a flag from his heritage, beyond his U.S. one. Apparently, his teacher decided he was not allowed to draw the flag of South Vietnam.

He was to have recognized and drawn the Communist Viet Cong flag, according to his own kindergarten teacher to me, a South Vietnamese-American mother.

We apparently didn't please her, but Vietnam Veteran POW's (including South Vietnamese Army Rangers) can understand and hopefully explain to Jeffco educators, how sensitive the entire South Vietnamese community are, about their flag, as opposed to the Viet Cong one.
