Kindergarten Project Cause of Bomb Threats in School

A New York City school have recently been receiving bomb threats as a result of a kindergarten project they purposed to create as a part of the school's fundraising campaign. The said project involved a flag.

The teachers of PS75, a kindergarten public school teaching in both English and Spanish have been accused of disloyalty through social media. Some critics have also called for the principal to step down from office while others call for the execution of the one who started the project, according to Parenting.

It all started with a Parent Teachers Association project where the kindergarten students took part in creating. The project was an American flag with 22 flags from other nations placed over the stripes of the flag of the US. Below them was a caption written, "We pledge allegiance to an international flag."

The said flag was intended to be included in the auction with the description that says:

"The students made a beautifully painted stretched canvas American Flag and then applied flags from all the Spanish-speaking countries onto the stripes of the American flag. All the children chose a flag to color using colored pencils and they were glued onto the larger American flag. The stars are cut canvas which are painted and decorated with REAL Swarovski Crystals (gold and crystal colored)," the auction site describes.

"The fun quote on the bottom is about unity and creating an environment in which everyone is welcome! 'We pledge allegiance to an International Flag!' Our dual language classroom strives to be a place that everyone feels welcome," the site further states, according to The Sean Hannity Show.

Patricia Frisbie, donation chair and vice president of fundraising for the PTA executive board said in an interview that the school is now seeking for additional police security to ensure the safety not just of the teachers receiving the threats but the students who continue their schooling in spite of their parents' knowledge about the coercion. The faculty is also holding regular emergency meetings regarding the matter.

The image of the flag in the auction site has been removed as well as its descriptions in response to the negative feedbacks it has received.
