A 14-year-old girl is accusing her teacher of violating her First Amendment rights after he allegedly “mocked and shamed” her for not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance during class, Connecticut’s Hartford Courant reports.
According to a federal lawsuit filed Monday, the unidentified student, who is black, joined a group of classmates in sitting out the pledge in protest. The lawsuit calls her non-participation a “peaceful and non-disruptive expression of their belief that African-Americans suffer from racial discrimination in the United States.”
Since when did minor 14 year old children have full 1st amendment rights at school? Only when they are being un-American. She needs to be told she's un-American and shameful. Children don't have full rights to begin with.
The teacher did nothing wrong, and didn't violate any of her rights that she doesn't really have. This is another set up by a black person. The real racism in America is a white person can't ever even question a black person.

Color nor age don't matter, no one can be forced to say the pledge. As it should be. No different than making someone pray.
