is there a war and a draft coming up?.....not that i know of.....the people you speak of HAD REASON....exactly my point....these people have no clue why they are doing it....tell me what reason a middle school child could have for refusing to stand?....and don't give me BS like because they are tired from playing video games all night....these kids are just following what they are seeing in the media, and what athletes are doing, and have no reason for doing what they are doing

<modsnip> It's democracy. They can choose to not stand up for any reason they wish or none at all. They're not harming anyone, they're not being violent or threatening,
They're not breaking any laws.

It's not democracy. It's called civil disobedience Bettty.
OTOH, there's a law against assault.Civil disobedience is part of democracy, part of the Bill of Rights. There is no law requiring people to stand for the pledge or national anthem.

Where is the source of information about what the student did or the motives of the student? I'm not finding anything - please let me know what you're finding and reacting to!
Thanks.
That's a good question. Was this student exercising his right or just being a smart *advertiser censored**, and trying to push the teachers buttons maybe for a law suit or something?
Oh my God! HOW DARE A TEACHER HAND OUT SOME DISIPLINE.
You know I went to school, and if my memery serves me correct; there was some pretty rotten apples there.
You confuse discipline with assault.Oh my God! HOW DARE A TEACHER HAND OUT SOME DISIPLINE.

You confuse discipline with assault.
Again, not taking the pledge is legal. Assaulting a student is a crime of assault.

technically speaking, it was also assault when my principal hit me when I was in grade 4 back in the 70's for misbehaving in school
If I met the man today, I would thank him for doing it.....he set me straight
He taught me that there were severe consequences for my actions at a very early age, it was a lesson well worth learning.....a lesson of youth today will never learn, unless they end up in prison
This is correct. Like I said, when I was growing up, there was some pretty rotten little apples going to school. I can't count how many times I had to participate in a fist fight just trying to walk home from school.

Students like our client who conscientiously carry their values and ideals with them cannot be silenced or directed on what to say or not say by their school in this manner,” Katie Traverso, an attorney for the student whose identity was not revealed in court documents, told the news organization.
I was just reading in the Washington Post.

That's the new American way I guess. Get assullted by the little old lady at the school house = fast cash.
Free ride at the burden of tax payers.
