Police said they arrested the child because he 'disrupted a school function' and 'resisted an officer without violence,' but not because he refused to recite the pledge.

Substitute teacher was in the wrong... “if you don’t want to live here then leave” ? He’s in 6th grade, how do you suggest he does that? Also learn the school guidelines before calling the office on him. If they don’t require you to do the pledge, he has the right not to do so

Arrested? Of course it's Florida smh

Shame

He should have just left the room when asked - with his head held high for (not)standing up for his beliefs

Pardon my French but how the fuck do you arrest an 11 year old because he was “disruptive”. Call hisnparent and send him home. “Arrest”? WTFTF!!!!

He was arrested for disrupting school, threatening his teacher and resisting arrest...... This makes me wonder if his mom is the scumbag he learned all his behavior from........

Good! Teach them respect when they're young.

Freedom of speech is not. A. Crime.

The land of the free!!! Ye only if you do as we say when we say it, isn’t that a dictatorship, Be offended it your flag means that much to YOU but let everyone else make their own call

Buzzfeed has jumped the shark in clickbait. Repeatedly stated in the article “student was NOT arrested for refusing to participate” responsiblejournalism clickbait shocksells

“Land of the free”..... my ass

We should all refer to Florida as “America’s colon”

Headline is incredibly misleading. This is why fake news is a thing.

The headline is wrong

is this 1984

Question of who was never forced to do this (we do not do this in Portugal): - Foreign students also have to do this?

Florida doing Florida things.

Of course it was Florida.

this is absolutely ridiculous. such an overreaction

Florida sixth-grader charged with misdemeanor after refusing to recite Pledge of AllegianceSchool officials said the student was punished for being disruptive, not for refusing to recite the pledge. What the hell? I only graduated high school in 2012 and i never remember people being forced to say the pledge. My school always made it clear that you could abstain if you wanted. That kid has more knowledge of the 1st Amendment than the POTUS! ACLU , you awake?
