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.
Let him move to the mid East and than see what he has to say.
I think suspending him fuels the atheists arguments. Since it is still a free country, students should be allowed to opt out without punishment if he is quiet about it. True, the pledge of allegiance is about God and our country, but he stuck by his convictions, and why should he be punished for that? That’s what our government is doing these days. Why should schools copy that?
The kid is wrong. You Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the Nation. Not the government.
put him in the marines they will straiten him out
