You should only be burning stuff in a chemistry classroom, which has presumably been designed for that kind of stuff with the thick bench tops, and a possibly more robust sprinkler system. The guy probably broke some rules by having an open fire in the classroom.

But I've got no real problem with him burning a flag for an assignment. It's a stunt for getting the attention of the students. However, if lots of teachers start doing it, it loses its impact. So it's probably not such a good idea to be doing this.
