Needville High School in Texas suspended Mason Michelac after his refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance as a protest against big government.
“I’m really tired of our government taking advantage of us,” said Michalec in a statement to KHOU. “I don’t agree with the NSA spying on us. And I don’t agree with any of those Internet laws.”
In protesting against our authoritarian government he runs into an authority trying to limit his first amendment rights.
a “victim” speaks…..
Our servicemen fought for freedom! Not for a flag or a pledge. Don’t impose YOUR values on someone who chooses not to say a pledge or salute a flag. These are symbols of America like a bald eagle. Do you salute a bald eagle?
GO LIVE IN IRAN AND SEE HAW MUCH FREEDOM YOU HAVE PUNK.
I would be a bless man if my son did this.
It is his God given right. He has more courage then a lot of men, to stand up for what he believe.
Hoorah stand your ground young man for wat you believe in im on your side with the gov bs stay on your roots and make em choke on it
The Big Eye is watching us, we have lost our freedom, stay turned.
of course they would why because they cant brain wash mind $#%&!@* you into following the plan to turn you into a mind less socialist drone.
he should had not refuse to tke part in the pledge however
He has a right to sit, but the first thought that comes to mind is the reverence of the flag, not that he dislikes big government. We are in greater chance of NO pledge being said. I think the kid means well but has it backwards. There’s more chance of the pledge going away.
