Lawsuit: Michigan teacher tried to force Palestinian American student to stand for Pledge

[Correll]

No but once the teacher said what they did, they crossed into no man's land. Mistake. Big big mistake.

Teacher isn't allowed to speak, got it.

Kid is in charge. Kid can speak, say what he wants. Becasue he is priviledged minority.

So if a teacher has an unruly black student, can he say, "Sit down and shut up, N-word!"

Or would even you agree that would be crossing a line?

This teacher crossed a line when he told this kid to go back where he came from. He probably crossed a line when he tried to compell reciting the pledge.

Standing is one thing, but saying the actual pledge is a whole other story. To me, if the student sits in a wheelchair, right then is when a lawsuit makes perfect sense. In my opinion, at least one form of respect should be shown even when you don't agree with what is going on. Standing isn't asking for much if you are able to. If the student was quiet while the pledge was being recited, that right there should be considered as well.

God bless you and everyone involved always!!!

So... in talking to my Dad, a veteran, he's of the mind that while he appreciates my sentiment, he did fight for the kids' right to sit there and act like a total brat. Yes, I can change my mind on a dime, because that's what intelligent people do. Rigidity is the bane of objectivity. And thus I felt it on my conscience to seek the opinion of one whose opinion holds weight on the subject.

Hope all of you have a good morning.

This is the meaningless nonsense that the Leftist Democrats push onto national news. FFS who cares?

You guys posted the thread though.

I note that you did not answer my question. You said the teacher used her power to "punish or destroy" the child.

And I asked what the punishment was, or how the destruction was done.


Admit it. There was no force. THe teacher expressed his opinion in response to the kids actions and that was the end of it.

Or it should have been.

It is the TEACHER that is being punished for his speech, not the child.

The teacher was punished by the school district, as she should have been. And you bet, demeaning a child in front of their peers is a form of punishment.

Sorry you had to see that outburst earlier. But that talk with Pops straightened me out. At least I listen to my spidey sense!

Pretty mild punshment.

Ha! I work with little kids. That was NOT an outburst, trust me!

 

[Zincwarrior]

I think everyone here is misunderstanding, this family is following the fine American tradition of suing over anything to get a sweet paycheck. America!

My condolences. But I used to be one, so I can't really criticize.

Well I'm retiring very soon, so there's that!

Flee while you can, fair maiden!

 

[Rawley]

Why would I want to do that?

I have a very good life here that I spent 50 years working on. (An alien concept to you, Twinkie).

I am sure Hamas is terrible as a form of government. BUt they came to power because Fatah was too busy sucking up to the Zionists and stealing Western Aid.



Pledge to the people who are helping murder his relatives? That sounds kind of sick.

It's like asking a Jew to pledge his loyalty to Adolf Hitler.

America = Hitler. Why do you hate this country so much? It's sickening

I disagree here also. Teaching children the meaning of gratitude starts here. If they won't swear allegiance and gratitude to the nation that gives them their freedom, then they will grow up being just as ungrateful in other aspects of life. Not only that, they are spitting on the men and women who died for their freedom. I heard stories from old-timers who came home from Vietnam who were spit on for being in the service. I won't abide by such ingratitude from our children. There's already enough lack of respect for basic values in this country as it stands.

Refusing to stand = spitting on someone.
Talk about blurring lines.

If you don't appreciate your freedom, you essentially spit on those who gave it to you. That's my definition of ingratitude. I'm going back to the SCOTUS ruling now, which broke just about 30 minutes ago, FYI.

You want to deport an American citizen because they didn't stand for a nonmandatory pledge (which many conservative Christians will not do either as they take no pledges ahead of God)?

The Democrats already made it national news not whoever posted about it.

Naw, what's sickening is we support a genocidal state in the Middle East that has dragged us into wars for the last 50 years because our politicians can't stand up to an angry minority.
