FakeNews 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨
Shameful to not stand for our flag total disrespect! 🇺🇸 Our flag is beautiful as it waves in the air.
God Bless America
The charges are not for refusing to say the pledge. That is absolutely wrong.
Inappropriate behavior management from the substitute escalated his behavior. Parent should have been called before police.
Good! so should his parents!
He was arrested for disrupting the class and refusing order not because of the pledge of allegiance. Read the article before jumping into conclusion. They should arrest the students parents for being worthless
Since his mommy didnt teach him any manners or respect, maybe someone else should.
It would be interesting to see what his parents had to say?
That is absurd.
The state of the union is deplorable.
It’s Not against the Law to stand or too say, Pledge to Our Flag. Especially since we have a Clown for a President. Not showing anything to be Proud of America right now.
I was told that nothing is done until a child is 12 even in cases of threatening another child. Might we now charge 18 month old children with felony picking of bluebonnets? This is a mockery of the justice system. Where’s the NAACP when a white person needs them?
We just swore in a congressman (congresswoman) on the Koran because of her protest
Misdemeanor charges of what! Freedom of Expression. Capernick proved with his “taking a knee” that this is completely legal even if unpopular.
The new America is becoming more and more like Russia!
So basically he's civil rights were violated. If he was truly disruptive he should be been removed not arrested. By arresting he you open the door for more protests to escalate.
The boy should have been asked politely to wait in the hallway whilst the rest of the class expressed their first amendment rights. The boy was arrested for the disturbance he caused whilst acting like a jackass, not for sitting during the pledge.
Send him home to stay!!
Sounds like a lot of anger for an 11 year old child to manage. Seems this is the needed conversation. Do not be distracted. Stand, don't stand, but we all gain from inclusive conversation, not divisive conversations or behavior. CriticalThinking
Arrested?
Wow, the teacher's response was absolutely wrong. WTF -telling a child to go live somewhere else. And not knowing that one can't be FORCED to stand and recite the pledge. The teacher was at fault 100% -this was a child.
That escalated pretty fast. It would be nice if a child could recognize it. An adult should definitely recognize it.
Would be nice if there was a way for people to not be able to comment unless they actually read the story. All headlines are misleading. Even a headline like this, which is accurate but still misleading.
Land of the free.
We should all be very concerned with the direction of the country if this doesn’t get cleaned up immediately. That teacher and the police officers should be fired promptly as well.
Florida.....lol truth TruthAgainstEvil
The teacher was wrong. She have issues. Young man you was not brought here. You are an American. Please don't say that.
How him being quite is a disruption? I blame person who complain about it.
Why are they for big him to speak a rite Pledge? Seems anti-American
The kid is a troublemaker with a history of being a discipline problem that always takes teaching time away from the good kids who want to learn. Nothing to do with the pledge! Get the details before you spout off bullshit!
Read the article people. According to the Resource Officer he repeatedly refused to leave the class room and made threats while being escorted out. Handled poorly by the teacher and the student.
Its his right to do so even if i don’t agree.This is still the USA not Russia or Nazi Germany
If this teacher is Cuban American she really needs to be ashamed of herself. She’s exactly the type to come to America & align themselves with the majority not realizing that racist white folk don’t give a dam about their people either. She’s about to get a hard History lesson.
Smh
What is it with America & arresting kids? This is not happening in any other civilized country.
When your government forces the citizens to do so, it's called 'dictatorship'. Just saying.
Didn’t we offer freedom at one point? I don’t know.
The good news — given the current state of rising seas, the Atlantic will reclaim Florida and provide housing for manatees.
School precipitated. Teacher not knowing rule prompted boy to defend his legal rights. Had teacher left him alone when he exercised his legal rights there would have been no problem.
It's hilarious how this tweet tells the whole story, while the actual article you wrote has a completely misleading title. No shame in putting those an inch from each other, huh?
Screw that. Where are we, North Korea?
Oh lord, what will those crazy redness do next?
Why? Florida of all places. They should arrest those NRA members who want guns for anyone, thise who sell guns to anyone and those who DO NOT enforce the law!!!
I didn't know it was against the law NOT to stand during the national anthem!!
Irresponsibly misleading headline . You should be embarrassed.
What part of Life, Liberty and Justice for all dont we understand. We dont force anyone to do anything that is against their nature. If the 11 year old doesnt want to do the pledge that is his right, but its also the rights of other to respect the USA, the Flag and the Pledge.
For those who just read the clickbait, HE WAS NOT ARRESTED FOR NOT SAYING THE PLEDGE, HE WAS ARRESTED FOR CAUSING A DISTURBANCE AND MAKING THREATS TO HARM HIS TEACHER! There, save your outrage for something actually worth getting pissed off about.
It's the child's right, but instead of sitting down , I believe the child should of left the room until the pledge was over. The teacher was wrong to ask questions to the student and press her beliefs.
they have it so bad here, a nation people come to partake in from all over the world, nobody brought him here. I busted out laughing at that statement.
I have a feeling that there is more to the story. Mounting behavioral issues?
He wasn't arrested for not saying the pledge, he was arrested for causing a disturbance. And nobody brought that kid here, this kid is mouthing off to a woman who actually escaped horrible opression about how bad it is in America. Its unfortunate our youth are being taught that
Ok, what in the cornbread eff is going on here You're 11. ELEVEN. Far as this mother is concerned, you'd be far more accomplished by way of deference to sacrifice, hardship & your betters who came before you. You heard. Wtf, parents Y'all need to get a damn handle on it.
No surprise here! This is America....
Umm excuse me, it’s free speech, it’s what the constitution supports! Leave the kid alone. If we can ignore trump, we should be able to let a 12 y/o make up their own mind about the pledge of alliance. Remember kids are also angry and afraid
The student was charged with disrupting a school function and resisting an officer without violence after he threatened the teacher with physical violence - Facts matter
Parents fault
When I was in school you might get detention
The Supreme Court ruled in 1943 that no child should be compelled to stand for or recite the pledge.
FFS! It’s not against the law not to stand for the pledge.
READ B4 POSTING! Click bait! The boy was arrested for causing a disruption & refusing repeated instructions from school staff & law enforcement, School spokesperson Kyle Kennedy said. He was not arrested for refusing to participate in the pledge —
Read the fucking article!! He wasn’t arrested for not standing or refusing to say the the pledge. Click bait bullshit.
👏👏👏👏👏
USA Today: “Need more clicks and create some more political division so...”
How can a school be so out of touch?
Couldn't you have pictured the kid or someone of his likeness at least? It's perspective!
Wow, the right wing garbage interpretation of the reason for this protest is the supposedly what he said. Either he is dumb and doesn't get the protest, or the adults lied to vilify an 11 YO. The maga hat kid incident for the right. How embarrassing.
I thought America was a free country?
This is what is wrong with kids in this day and age, they no longer respect authority.
LanceSEdwards1 It sucks living in North Korea 😖
Florida? What? No way! Florida never has news that just makes you say, what.the.fuck.florida. 🙄
Fake News typically doesn't tell the whole story right away.
What happened with school principals doing their job.
I went through this as a youngster... ... Not me but a class-mate Teacher thought he was goofing... ...Kept making him repeat in class ...We were young- he was getting choked up Unable to recite word 4 word... Teacher escorted him out... ...This was 1985 I’ll never forget.
love living in the land of the free™️
Arrested Standing is not a requirement. What a waste of resources.
Wow. There were a lot of adults very out of line in this situation
Fire the cop who did it! Shut the school down!
Come on, Florida. Cut it out!
ACLU
So freedom of speech only applies to adults? Got it.
Hmmm the HITLER youth had the same problem I guess
I hate Florida...can we sell it back it Spain?
And be sure to fine his parents about 10 - 25 k , that will help insure parents don't teach their kids to be ignorant and disrespectful.
So you arrest a child?! Who are these people?
Read the story... not the headline. 'After' does not equal 'for'.
No first amendment rights?
You’re allowed to express your first amendment right as long as it conforms to our view.
No teacher should EVER tell a little kid they should find somewhere else to live ESPECIALLY in USA where ALL are welcome.
Does anybody really believe that people keep their pledges?
The good ole USA is such a mess blowing up something like this into being an offence....
Rules are rules . Refuse or get booted. But not arrested..
An 11 year old was arrested after being confronted by a substitute teacher who didn’t know the student wasn’t required to stand. She could’ve sent a disciplinary letter home to the parents
So the American hating left are infecting kids as young as 11 now?
JeffPassoltFOX9 Arrested for threatening the teacher...Click bait
Fakenews He was arrested for threatening the teacher and resisting a police officer.
Unfuckingbelievable. Is this America? What about tolerance?
He's a child with rights. This is ridiculous.
In case of disciplinary offenses committed by teenagers or lesser age kids, counseling should be the only punishment till behavior is changed. Definitely the kid is not a criminal and arrest is needless. It will create hostility in his mind for life.
Leave these kids alone
Oh FFS! What happened to being the land of the free? Maybe they should change the words in their national anthem!!
Jehovah Witness , leave the kid alone
Unconstitutional
This is inappropriate. One is not REQUIRED to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance; that is one of our defining characteristics. FreedomOfSpeech
What is happening?
Same as rules on dress-code, class start-times, no profanity, no bullying, the educational curriculum. Students can’t decide what they get to do in the schools.
Well, it's Florida.
Wow , we just keep getting more stupid
Arrested for what? Thats not a crime.
Jfc
Lmfao what what's next omg
So much for freedom in the US...
Highly doubt it was for just that !!
Boy, they are learning early how to protest. Must have learned it from his parents.
Say no more...it's in Florida!
Another divisive article that should never make it as a headline. Don’t you think you’ve spread enough division for this week?
Good!
Wow so we are arresting people who dont stand for the pledge Smh.
I don't like it, but he should be allowed to sit QUIETLY.
💪🏽💪🏾💪🏿💪🏼💪🏻💪 Freedom
I'd like to think professionals would have handled the incident better.
He’s just doing what his Dad taught him to do.
OMG! What country do we live in? Freedom means being free to do either...
Won't be long before you can't leave home without your papers...
I never got the words down. Even if I did no one explained the words we didn't understand. It is just a blind obedience and we should knock it off.
This is the definition of Irony!
He was arrested for a confrontation with a teacher and police officer. People don't bother to read 🙄
I never stood for the pledge of allegiance. It’s a stupid shitty thing that is pointless. Plus I’m not doing that under shitty Trump.
For me this teacher should be fired(PERIOD) I would being suing everyone that was connected to this The American Flag gives us the right not to take part in the Pledge of Allegiance
The pledge is archaic. Not something they should make you do in a free country.
Oh but Is ok for republicans to sell the USA to Putin.
Damn worthless brat. The flag is not racists.
QuestionsForTrumpDefenders So on which side of the Wall will you truly be free? TrumpsAmerica
Good! Good!
It's certainly easy to get arrested these days
Arrest him, teach him a lesson!
Good
Sick, how did we get this authoritarian?
Arrested for such trifles?! Are there any disciplinary measures? You have a police state!
Bad parenting. Not the kid's fault.
Arrested? ......
They gonna make this student rich. I might disagree... but expulsion and arrest? That’s not gonna fly in court.
This teacher needs a serious lesson!
That kid's a hero. The Pledge was written by a Nazi to encourage people to show automatic loyalty to the state. Look it up. It's the truth.
Arrested 😂😂😂 I haven’t opened the story yet, but let me guess, he’s African American?
There’s more to this story than the media is letting on I am sure.
Not speaking is freedom of speech! WTF
what horseshit. leave the kid alone.
