Grabbing the kid is a big no no and the teacher will probably lose his job or at eh very least have to take a bit of time off and attend a sensitivity class.
If I was the teacher I would have used this as a teaching moment for the entire class by first asking the kid why he choose to sit. I doubt he will have an answer beyond that he is just doing what he has seen NFL players doing.
Violence is not the answer to ignorance but teaching the kids why we recite the pledge might actually instill a bit of pride for their country in them.
This is one area you and I agree on. Big deal, he was lifted out of his seat. He is here in America, wanting all the protections and rights we offer, sucking up our air, and he is not willing to show gratitude and respect.
Then go to some country where you will not have to act like every good American.
He is a child who was physically assaulted by an adult for exercising his religious freedom in not making a pledge to an inanimate object.
If you think that is a fair representation of American values, then you are the one that needs to find a country more to your liking.
It means that rights and responsibilities go hand-in-hand.
As for the kid, he seems to be a real ****ing degenerate from an attention ***** family.
Seem like a very intelligent well-adjusted kid to me , from a very intelligent well-adjusted African American family. Listen I am a African American veterans who served in two different military branches , and I pledge allegiance to the flag , but I don't hold anything against anyone that doesn't want to pledge allegiance to the flag some of you people need to get a life....!!!!
No one is ever going to teach that kid how lucky he is to be a citizen of this country. Sad.
Likely all this kid has been taught is that his ancestors were abused and that he is a victim of white oppression. He will enter adulthood seeing white people as enemies and hold a chip on his shoulder about the nation and society he lives in. His dad is no doubt responsible for raising up a child filled with racial hate and a sense of victimhood. This is not a recipe for his success in life.
Those who wish to not say he pledge should be forced to leave the classrooms so they don't disrupt the majority of kids who do love what this nation is supposed to stand for.
Forced obedience. Is that what you think the nation stands for?

Well, this at least better than the white guy who ambushed and killed two cops, after he got kicked out of a football game for antagonizing people for sitting during the anthem.
So I guess there's that.

You said, "I remember back in the day how everyone begrudgingly stood every morning, and hoarsely repeated words." That did not apply to me or anyone I knew.... But everyone is free to move about the planet, to a different country, if they choose. I could move tomorrow but I love my country and think I will stay here . .... but I don't get when people put down the respect for the flag..
And many people don't understand worshipping a piece of cloth.

Your air?
He has a right to not be forced to stand during the anthem. If you have a problem with that, you should probably take your own advice and find a country that forces its citizens to pledge loyalty to it.
