ANSONIA, Conn. - A Connecticut high school student was pulled out of classes and reported to police for substituting "ISIS" for the "United States of America" during the Pledge of Allegiance.
The incident occurred before Christmas break, according to the Connecticut Post.
Lt. Andrew Cota said the 15-year-old student at Ansonia High School wasn't charged, but the case was turned over to the Department of Homeland Security. Police said there is no danger to the community. Federal officials declined to comment.

The mother, in addressing the Board of Education, said her son was not taken out of school “because of discipline†or “ill behavior†(but) “because the principal ... was allowed to be irrational and make an impulsive decision.â€
She maintained on the recording that her son “did not breach any of the codes of conduct, did not misbehave; the thing that he was alleged was not even founded. It was not true.â€
She said that “if it had been founded, it was also an exercise ... of his ... rights to be able to say what he needs to say. He never threatened anybody, he never harmed anyone ...â€
She further claimed her son was removed from Ansonia High School because the “educational environment ... became hostile.â€
She repeated that while her son has never been “aggressive, hostile, disrespectful, a threat to anyone in a school environment, (the issue) is now pushed through the federal investigation.â€
Carmen Pitney, the president of the Board of Education, informed the mother during the meeting that the boy’s pronouncement “was verified by other students and that is why the principal and the officer had to take action.â€

He should be imprisoned.
supporting an enemy at a time of war is a criminal offense, isn’t it?
I take that back. Jane Fonda did it and she didn’t go to prison so I guess it’s okay
I disagree that it constitutes “no danger to the community.”
Ship his maggot butt off to ISIS “basic training”. That will shut his smartass mouth up.
He should get a “tune up” from some of the other students, and mommy should be ostracised as a little lesson in consequences.
If it was WWII and these idiots did this, they would have to move far away and pray that word of it didn’t follow them.
Mom has the talking points down to a tee...smells like a setup.
Yep.
What is the mothers name?
It wouldn’t happen to be of non American origin now, would it?
If the little twerp is a Muslim, he just earned a free trip to the White House.
While the mother supports her kid, my dad would have beat my ass.........
There is no reason for the reports to withhold his name.
The authorities may, but the community knows who did it.
Good. ISIS is pure evil and endangers each of us. Anyone showing the slightest bit of alliance or allegiance should be removed. Period. Pure evil has no place in a civilized society.
The Police Chief is also making a dumb argument - that this is an issue of yelling fire in a movie theater.
It is an issue of sedition and treason.
I would just assume some joker trying to be funny.
But these days? I just dont know.
QUERY
How can we tell when someone or something related to Islam is a real potential danger to the community?
ANSWER
When the authorities immediately assure us that the person or incident is not a danger to the community.
But school authorities would have no choice but to take it seriously.
