Florida Teacher's Idea to Honor Conscientious Objectors on Veteran's Day

(Fox News) - An idea from a Florida elementary school teacher to put the names of conscientious objectors on a banner at a Veterans Day observance has prompted hundreds of calls and e-mails in protest. The Sarasota Herald-Tribune reports Bay Haven Elementary School fourth-grade teacher Rolf Hanson wanted to honor conscientious objectors and give them what was described as more or less equal recognition with veterans.

An irate parent called Rush Limbaugh — and the deluge of negative reaction commenced. The school's principal quickly said that there would be no banner — and that veterans would be honored in what he described as a "very traditional" way.
