Re: Bullied 11 yr old boy arrested for refusing to stand for Pledge of Allegiance
I'm a white christian female but I would imagine being a black gifted 11 year old has to be a curse. It states he was bullied. He should have never been left in public school in the first place.

He of course knew his history and as someone stated the pledge of allegiance would most likely seem racist for someone as intelligent as he is.

Are any of us really free anymore. If we don't want to stand then don't stand. This never used to be an issue. But our country is not what it was years ago. It has changed so much and become more full of satan than ever. With lgbt or whatever it is and trannies and the corruption in our own government. Where is it all going? We are supposed to still respect it? I as one would still stand and still pledge because of the Pledge of Allegiance to God. But not everyone would think like I do.

Another take a knee bullshitter but... *Sigh* in the states we are now calling the police on little kids for refusing to say the pledge and disrupting classes?

In my day it would have been sent to the office and maybe detention with a call home to the parents...

I don't understand why the police were involved in this.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28925333


I have a problem with the police being involved and the child being arrested. Seems to go a little far for an 11 year old. Getting detention should have been the most punishment out of this situation.

I agree with you! Things sure have changed in the last 50 years.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77315255


Bottom line, the reason cops are in our schools and arresting our children is to support the FOR PROFIT prisons that the Clinton White House created under their watch. The kickbacks are a must.

Time to take the profit out of the Justice System. We in the USA have the highest incarceration rate in the WORLD.

The money tree needs to be cutdown.

the whole point of the flag is that you don't have to stand for it.

freedom means accepting people who don't want to stand.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 75219378


Accepting those who don't stand for it has lead us down the road we are on now.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76811998


Bullshit. We are here today because the majority of people think its totally acceptable to live like the Devil. You know those that believe there is nothing wrong with lying, killing a baby, using the government to steal from others, and those that believe its okay to destroy families for their immature sexual pleasure.

Also you have it totally backward. The founding fathers never bled and died so that we could bow and scrape before a flag while chanting a brainless chant of devotion. What they died for was for the damned politicians to chant a pledge of allegiance whenever they think of the citizens they SERVE.

I nor my children will not criticize anyone on whether or not they stand, sit or hell take a knee during the pledge of allegiance because that is what freedom of expression is.

I agree that police have no business dealing with an 11 year old! If the principal can't handle him, get a new principal, and haul in the parents.

Pledging allegiance is an act of respect, and a vow of loyalty. Kids need to understand that and make a choice, since a coerced vow is no vow at all. It makes a mockery of the system.

Standing respectfully can legitimately be required. Pledging must remain a personal choice. If the parents haven't taught the kid, then he will have to figure it out on his own. Teachers cannot teach loyalty - especially today.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77335283


When I was in school participating in the pledge was optional but strongly encouraged. Everybody did it anyways. Some did not say they actual pledge, though. This was in the 80s and 90s. I'm not sure when and where it became mandatory to participate. I went to school in New York State.

I don't understand what the big deal is if the kid doesn't stand. Who cares? Why make a fuss? Do we go arresting people who don't stand for the national anthem at sporting events? No we don't.

This sounds a lot more like a power tripping teacher and administration trying to force their will on some poor kid to make an example.

He shouldn't even be required to stand respectfully. What's the difference if he doesn't actually respect it? By the way, nationalism in and of itself is not virtuous when the Christian Biblical values of true Godliness, self-sacrifice, and liberty are no longer represented by the flag. Have you ever heard the old adage "History repeats itself"? Have you studied history and prophecy to truly understand the consequence of a nationalism apart from Christ? Do you not see the writing on the wall where this is all headed? An arrest of a for not being nationalistic? Umm, hello what does that remind you of? And then we have ceaseless anti-semitism as the jews are once again scapegoated as the font of communism when they're merely tools of the jesuits.. anyone with half a brain can see where this is headed.

Go ahead, give me red karma, call me a communist, call me a socialist, the truth is most people are so far from the truth they can't handle it, or a calm rational discussion, challenging thoughts, in their emotional reaction they cry to the man who tells the truth, "Crucify him!"

I see a ton of people around here concerned with "freedom" ALSO demanding flag worship like we live in North Korea or some shit.
I think it's appropriate to stand for the flag, and to respect what it stands for to Americans, but in a country where we sanctify our soldiers sacrifices for our freedom, you MUST be free to stand, kneel or whatever you choose - because that's how freedom works.

Certain behavior is required in public. We have to wear certain clothes. We have to have a certain level of decorum. I'm a libertarian, and if the kid can't handle minimal behavioral standards, he needs to be educated away from the school.

In an institution of learning, certain behavior is reasonable and needs to be required. Standing respectfully for any flag, especially ours, is legitimate. Pledging allegiance is requiring a vow, and that needs to be a personal choice. If someone has an infirmity that prevents standing, they can sit respectfully.

If the allegation that he threatened the teacher is true, I have a hard time believing the teacher really felt such a threat by an 11 year old was credible. In most jurisdictions a threat needs to be credible for it to be a criminal act. It's probably why he was charged with "disrupting a school function" if such a charge even exists. No such law exists in the state I reside in now.

Your title is misleading. He was arrested for disrupting class, and resisting arrest.
 Quoting: Epic Beard Guy



The February 4 incident started when a substitute teacher asked the 11-year-old boy to stand up for the Pledge of Allegiance.

He reportedly told the substitute teacher the flag was racist, and the national anthem was offensive to black people.

Is the kid a black kid? If not - who cares? If he was, just tell him he's wrong. He has to stand, and can either stand silently with respect or say the pledge.

If true, that's a reason to send him to the principal's office. It's a school matter, not a criminal matter.

If he's not a US citizen, he should stand for the pledge and remain silent. Classrooms are not a place for self expression - they're a place of instruction, and that requires a level of compliance.

Was the kid an American citizen? If not, he should never pledge allegiance to the USA. If he becomes a US citizen, he gets to do his first pledge of allegiance at his naturalization ceremony.

People who should not pledge allegiance to the US should stand respectfully and face the flag.

Technically, Christ forbids Christians to make oaths, only to answer "yes" or "no". To be arrested over something like that though, the teacher, principle and arresting officer, belong in a jail cell for child endangerment and child abuse.

Re: Bullied 11 yr old boy arrested for refusing to stand for Pledge of Allegiance
Another take a knee bullshitter but... *Sigh* in the states we are now calling the police on little kids for refusing to say the pledge and disrupting classes?

In my day it would have been sent to the office and maybe detention with a call home to the parents...

I don't understand why the police were involved in this.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 28925333


I agree that police have no business dealing with an 11 year old! If the principal can't handle him, get a new principal, and haul in the parents.

Pledging allegiance is an act of respect, and a vow of loyalty. Kids need to understand that and make a choice, since a coerced vow is no vow at all. It makes a mockery of the system.

Standing respectfully can legitimately be required. Pledging must remain a personal choice. If the parents haven't taught the kid, then he will have to figure it out on his own. Teachers cannot teach loyalty - especially today.

You do know that the Pledge of Allegiance has been permanently altered for pledging allegiance to Lucifer and his New World Order, right? So this kid's doing the right thing.
Conspiracy Theorist is nothing more than a derogatory title used to dismiss a critical thinker.

I agree. The kid should be taught correctly. The flag is not racist and is a symbol of freedom. If the kid doesn't pledge allegiance to the USA, then what country does he pledge allegiance too. Maybe he should move there and get out of America...
 Quoting: DuckNCover


There is so much wrong with this I'm almost speechless; almost.

The flag is a symbol of freedom.
What you're really saying is that the flag is a symbol of freedom as long as everyone joins you in worshiping it.

If the kid doesn't pledge to the USA, then what country?
You can love your country without chanting words taught you from a very young age yet have no concept what they mean.

Maybe he should move there and get out of America...
What you're really saying is that if everyone doesn't worship a flag and/or freedom the exact way you want them to, they should leave?

The kid should be taught correctly.
Which would you like to be today, the kettle or the pot?
Your concept of freedom is very, very skewed and your grammar sucks.

What does a Republic mean to you...

Why did people die for a flag...

Why should we respect the dead, that fought in wars, so that you can justify your speech...

What do you think the Pledge of Allegiance means...

Are you an atheist, since God is mentioned in the Pledge...

Without the Pledge, we might as well be 50 individual countries bound together with a handshake and a smile...
 Quoting: DuckNCover


What does a Republic mean to you... Limited government in which the supreme power lies in a body of citizens. This limited form of government works for the people and not the other way around.

Why did people die for a flag...Anyone dying for a piece of cloth is not real bright. Dying for rights, is another story.

Why should we respect the dead, that fought in wars, so that you can justify your speech... Name one single person who has died for my right to free speech and I'll name you thousands who died in illegal wars of conquest and occupation.

What do you think the Pledge of Allegiance means...Blasphemy. I pledge my allegiance to Yahuah alone. I love the country I grew up in and the good people who make America a wonderful place. I hardly recognize America anymore.

Are you an atheist, since God is mentioned in the Pledge... No, however, "God" is a title and not a name. Which God? The elitist' god, no thank you.

Without the Pledge, we might as well be 50 individual countries bound together with a handshake and a smile... I'd rather a handshake and a smile than a tatted up, holes in the head, bubble gum chewing retard who can't count change at the local meglomart.

Freedom is the right to exercise my right to say not only no but HELL NO! Your idea of freedom is based in everyone following what you believe and practice. Now kindly take your blind patriotism and shove it up your ass.
