ANSONIA, Conn. - A Connecticut high school student has been pulled out of classes and reported to police for substituting "ISIS" for the "United States of America" during the Pledge of Allegiance.

"ISIS" is a term commonly used for the Islamic State group.

So does that kid score an invite to the White House with something like that?

[Old Yeller]

I’m surprised. I thought students pledging allegiance to the U.S. We’re being locked up.

Were, to you English police. My iPad put the apostrophe in.

Pushing the envelope. Seeing how far they can go. Obama has emboldened the fringe and We the People will unfortunately reap the whirlwind.

Will we find out his names when CAIR holds a press conference?

Was he working on a clock in a briefcase while he was saying this?

When I was young we would have handled this one after class. He never would do that again.

Yes. It was all a misunderstanding. He was simply saying the word for "clock" (گھڑی) in Urdu.

If you don't buy that, then he was invoking his favorite Egyptian goddess, Isis, as he still watches reruns of her old Saturday morning TV show. We need to tolerate it or we are sexist (against goddesses), racial bigots (anti-Egyptian), and religiously intolerant (Egyptian paganism).

He’s 15. He was 7 when Obama was elected. All I’m saying is, kids who came of age during the Reagan era didn’t do crap like this.

The boy's mother said at a board meeting that removing her son from school was an irrational decision.

Welcoming illegals into our country is irrational. Permitting illegals to stay is irrational. Compelling communities to pay the costs of educating illegals with limited or nonexistent English skills is irrational. Celebrating "diversity" instead of helping and encouraging newcomers to adopt our vastly superior western values is irrational.

Removing a self-proclaimed terrorist sympathizer from the schools our children attend? That's a rare rational act from a government agent in Connecticut.

And he will reap the bounty after he leaves office ...

What the heck is going on here? Is this kid an American or some muzzi POS?

[PIF]

Foreign fighters are given a bride, some training and shown the suicide vest ... he wouldn’t be returning.

“The boy’s mother said at a board meeting that removing her son from school was an irrational decision.”...............

No “Mom”, the irrational decision was made by your illiterate offspring when he decided to make that stupid statement. Is a true Muslim?

[PoloSec]

Yeah it’s bad but the truth is the nonsense hasn’t even started yet, there is a fire storm brewing as the sparks fly, it will be a sudden consuming storm if we fail to stomp out every spark.

Our Republic is growing dry from neglect and many enemies without and within would like to see it burned to the ground.
