Should have know it would be long.

This is illegal. The Supreme Court made decisions against compulsory actions and recitations as far back as 1943. They revisited this type case in 1990, even affirming citizen’s right to burn the flag. This school board won’t stand a chance when the ACLU gets a hold of this.

this was happening in the 00s when we didnt wanna stand for Bush. 

i sat during the pledge in NY, and the teacher called the principal. then he came, made vague suspension threats, i challenged him on it, told him to buck, then he’d call security and they’d loom over me, and i’d let them know just what would happen of they put a hand on me. every day they did this. and every day i’d remind their BLACK asses that i came from a country where this shit was illegal for this very reason.

That’s just great! Very clear message: American heroes were
fighting Nazis (racists) in World War II. Now Norman condemns the unjust
actions of police who kill unarmed black people. It’s hard to deny the
existence of racial profiling when we know the facts. So I perfectly understand
why so many people join this protest. What I can’t understand is what kind of
values do represent those who oppose protesters. Are they happy that police
kill unarmed black people?
