In a free country, people aren't forced to stand and/or pledge of allegiance to a government.

Shit. That's what I go through with my class on a daily basis for the Pledge of Allegiance. I will keep doing it, too. I HATE it when dumbshits disrespect this country.

Freedom to do so is theirs period. You don't have to like it, it is thier right. I really don't see the neccessity of the P.O.A. anyway. I swear no loyalty to any politician or dictator, period. If they want to sit down or not observe oh well, not my place to make them. |

they don't have to stand but they should at least be quiet out of respect.
The teacher will probably lose his job over this unfortunately |

Good. He's not in school to teach political ideologies. I have yet to see a text book in a public school that has a damned thing to do with the requirement of standing for any pledge or anthem. On the other hand, like any solemn affair, any child who chooses not to stand can damned well shut his mouth and be respectful. |

Libertarian not liberal. Socialism is cancer, but if freedom is an ideology than I am liberal on that, I am anti Gov. growth period. So while I always said the pledge and stood for the National Anthem, right of dissent or apathy is still a right. So what do you propose summary execution in front of the school for his differing opinion or apathy. |

This is part of what is wrong with this country. Most teachers don't respect this country and are big libs, and the ones that aren't, don't know how to set a positive example for students.
The students, on the other hand, are brought up in such a politically corect society and at the same time socially liberal home life, they are unable to comprehend an angry teacher taking their chair from them. As harmless an act that taking the chair away was, it is perceived as a violent assault on this young boys person. He actually believes he has been wronged, and that the teacher is in big trouble. (sadly the teacher will likely UNJUSTLY loose his job) Did you hear how offended the poor little punk was when the teacher took his chair. He couldn't believe what had just happened.

Exactly why I could never even consider teaching anything. These people send their little heathens out in society and expect everyone to coddle to them.
And for you libtards around here, Did you fail to hear the National Anthem. Yes you stand for it damnit! I truly feel sorry for all teachers. And that little asshole should be drug out back and beaten. Wana be grown? Take this grown ass whippin. |

He should have been offended. He was forced to stand in 'respect' to something that he was for whatever reason, stupid or not, in protest against. Meanwhile, little Johnny Jackboot, the 'profesional' cursing teacher took a shit on his First Amendment rights. Set to the ever appropriate words 'Land of the free, and the home of the brave.' |

Supposedly this student has the freedom to not stand and not recite the pledge. To force him to would violate his "free speech" rights. But you are now saying he SHOULD be forced to "shut his mouth and be respectful" - isn't THAT just as much an infringement of his right to "free expression" as forcing him to also stand as well??? IMO, making him stand is no different than making him shut up. Both should be enforced on those dumbass punks because neither is an unreasonable infringement of their 1st Amendment rights. If you think that the teacher had the rightful power to silence their comments during that brief time (i.e. forcing them to show respect) then why not also make them stand to show respect as well? |

Because speaking is not the issue. The root of the problem was that they did not want to stand. Besides. By refusing to stand, he does not diminish anyone else's enjoyment of the pledge/anthem. He is not infringing on their right to do so. By speaking during that time, however, his is hindering their enjoyment of it. He is then infringing on their rights. There for he should remain quiet. Whether he stands or not has no bearing on anyone else. ETA: System ate my reply. |

It would be a completely different story if this was the Pledge of Allegiance, but it was the National Anthem, a song commending the brave who have fought and died for our freedom. All of those little shitsshould be airdropped into Mogadishu.
I cannot stand it when idiots talk, let alone stand for the National Anthem, but I guess it is their right as free men.... |

Apparently this teacher is pretty damned serious about producing a classroom full of conformist automatons, devoid of independent thought. Excellent way to ensure the furtherance of our country's ideals. But altogether wrong, in more ways than one. |

A calm discussion about the sacrifices of others in the armed forces and how it has benefitted the class and our society as a whole would have been a bit more orthodox but it probably would have went right over these shits' heads. The teach employed anger and violence, but was merely viewed as unstable by the class as a whole..... sad really because it looks like the class would be pretty disrespectful under any given circumstances. |

Granted it is the extreme end of the spectrum, but it is conformity is fundamental to their beliefs. Noone would dispute that. Thats why we have the Bill of Rights, not for much longer though as they are constantly weakened and nearly all lack initiative to keep. Whether you agree or disagree it is their right to stand and observe or not. Funny how most just throw this aside when it conflicts with their view. Your rights exist to keep extremes from happening. |

I have no problem forcing the little shit to stand. He should stand out of respect and gratitude for what his citizenship affords him - whether he has the sense to see it or not. Why do you pay taxes? Because the government makes you. Why do you stand for the anthem? Because your teacher makes you. Don't like either one? Tough shit. |

Why would you be at a loss for words? I personally know people who have laid down the ultimate sacrifice in Iraq and Afghanistan. I've had to attend funerals. I've had to watch mothers and fathers, role models of our conservative society, break down and fall to their knees, and cry out to God for answers at their sons' graves. I've had to look them in the eyes, and offer words that seem so pathetic, so useless and small, when given in condolence to their loss. I shed tears, at times, when I stand and lay my hand across my heart, and listen as the National Anthem plays. It does not bother me that the person next to me does not. And from all the talking I did in high school and aftwerward, it did not bother these fine, deceased gentlemen either. They laid down their lives upon the altar of freedom. They had many reasons for doing it. Allowing one overbearing asshole to play conformist dictator over students in a classroom was not one of them. Thanks to them, you and I have the right to disagree. We have the right to our opinions. We have the right to express those opinions in whatever manner we see fit, so long as that chosen manner does not infringe upon the rights of others. When I stand, and others do not... I feel pity for them. For they have not seen the faces of those passed on, who died for this country. They do not know the cost of the freedom that they exercise. But I do not hate them for it. I do not feel anger. My friends did not die so that I, in my blind anger, could lay a heavy hand of control upon my fellow countrymen. |
