A Texas high school student filed a lawsuit against her school district after and her principal she was suspended for sitting during the pledge of allegiance. Seventeen-year-old India Landry says, “I don’t think that the flag is what it says it is for, for liberty, and for justice and all that. It’s not obviously what’s going on in America today.”

Well said.
Blacks in America are far better off than anywhere else in the world.
How much success would Oprah Winfrey have made if she were born in Rwanda or Saudi Arabia?
Name any black American citizen, and then try to compare what their life would have been like in any other country. Would they be better or worse off? It’s an easy answer.

Bankrupt her and her poxy family in lawyer fees.
“Bankrupt her and her poxy family in lawyer fees.”
I’m sure they are not paying for their lawyers.
She should demand to go to Africa or maybe Somalia. Make Somalia great again!
IOW, on the date of this SCOTUS case, 1942: after the Japanese had overwhelmed most of Asia and the Germans most of Europe, and Rommel’s success in Africa was making the fight against the Axis powers look like WWII might be a close thing, it didn’t require a lot of political acumen or courage for the Court to rule, “No, we’re not going to require our children to give the Hitler Youth salute to our flag.”
So, different time, different facts (you lousy libertarian)
;o)

Supreme Court already decided this and the law is on the kids side under religious freedom clause. Goes back to Jehovah Witnesses around WW2. Supreme Court also ruled in the 60s that HS kids can wear black armbands in protest. While we may not like it, the free speech laws have been adjudicated in this regard. Students do have the right to free speech when they enter the school grounds. If speech is removed for one class of citizens, then what other class should have their speech curtailed?
Whoa! I see what you did...
LOL!
I’d hit it.
Not sure of her school system, but in CT, she would be getting a tutor come to her house and keep her up with her school mates.
If that is the case here, guess who is paying for that luxury.
Africans are simply becoming more the enemies of ingratitude and western civilization.
Because she doesn't make it that way.
Her biggest problem in life is going be her.
Individuals make up the nation.
LOL, well they don’t teach much history now...
Public ridicule rather than administrative punishment is the only way to combat this crap.........
