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.
Though I agree with his view point , He should still have to say the pledge of Alegence. It is not a pledge to government . It is however a pledge to our country.
obama is infringing on our rights as a free country , many have died protecting that right . The young man is right obama has made our government to big and taught the government to infringe on our rights so they can force their hatred and racism on the American People , trying to force the Citizens into slavery ,One thing they forget WE THE PEOPLE are their employers , but obamas push for communism and terrorism are a no no for our country
the govmt we have now IS NOT AMERICAN
The Pledge is not meant to honor our government, it is to honor our great country. Disrespecting our flag shows disrespect for the country. If you don’t like what is going on in Washington, protest the people that are in office. I know you are not old enough to vote yet but you can make your voice heard in other ways other than disrespecting our symbol of freedom.
Smart young man
THE KID IS RIGHT THIS RIGHT NOW IS NOT AMERICA BUT WE AMERICAN’S WILL GET IT BACK SOON.
Is he ashamed of his country??
Wrong way to protest, be proud of our country, not who’s running it.
THE FLAG REPRESENTS WHAT WE STAND FOR AND OUR FIGHTING MEN DIED FOR! NOT WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS DOING TO OUR COUNTRY!
