Pledge refuser says school used force to make her stand

My 1st grader had this same issue. Thankfully it only took two weeks of refusing to stand before her teacher gave up.

Moreover, what went on at this high school in New Hampshire is what you would find in a country where human rights and civil liberties are not respected.

These outlaw "school officials" had no right whatsoever to even punish this girl with an in-school suspension for what she did. As for the teacher grabbing this girl by force, that's assault and battery no questions asked.

On the "permanent record" issue, it is nothing more than a public school intimidating its students that disciplinary records are public criminal records. That is false - student records are confidential by law.

Im glad she is exercising her right


one truth

If you ask me, requiring children to participate in a ritual day after day from an age when they are too young to understand what it means, a ritual of loyalty to their country, that is not what democracies do.

This country was founded as a Constitional Republic, not a democracy. Democracy is Mob Rules at the expense of individual rights. Democracies are corrurt forms of government. We have been led to believe they are just societies, but in fact are not. We need to return to our roots before what's left of our rights & freedoms are snatched away from us byt the US police "democratic" state.

So do you think we should be able to elect people to represent us in Congress and the Senate and the Whitehouse?

So in other words.... you're glad she's exercising her rights, but you don't think she should exercise her rights.

hey k9, at last someone who sees the big picture. It is an allegence to the BRITISH CROWN. Why doesnt everyone read the constitution??

I want to pat that girl on the back you go girl
