And...your objection is that this 11 year old's parents told him his Constitutional rights?The Pledge of Allegiance and Legal Challenges in Education - FindLawSo, the 11 year old doesn't have Constitutional rights? Is that what you are saying?Apparently some people believe that Constitutional rights only apply if everyone is ok with it, that they don't make waves, that they don't cause others to become upset, that they aren't hard.
The constitution has zero to do with this, and to keep tossing it in here just cheapens it. The first amendment does not absolve one from consequences. Every day nation wide kids don’t stand for the pledge and nothing happens. From my elementary days I can recall three kids who did not stand. This was some dumb hood rats kid that was put up to pulling a stunt. The teacher should have known better then to argue with an 11 year old and just had him sit out in the hall when it all started.
No, everyone does, it the first amendment does not absolve them of the consequences. Like the baker. He had to fight a huge and costly legal battle. If I chose I can peel my cloths off and run across a baseball field with “save the whales” written across my ass, but I’ll still get tossed in jail. This kid was done a disservice by his parents, and really this teacher. That aside, this little brat knows jack shit about the constitution. He was just being a shit.
Actually, this kid seems to know more about the history of this country, the Constitution, and case law than you do.
No, not really. Just what his mom and dad told him. This was prepared for him.
