Video: Student kicks chair underneath fellow classmate who didn't stand during Pledge

A video published on Instagram shows a student in Westminster, Md. kicking the chair from underneath a peer who didn't stand during the Pledge of Allegiance Tuesday.

According to the Daily Mail, the Winters Mill high school student who kicked the chair was disciplined.

He can be heard telling his classmate he was being disrespectful, and needed to have his "a** kicked."

The Daily Mail reports school officials didn't state whether the student was sitting for a specific reason or protest, though he later posted on social media he was "practicing [his] right to free speech."

"I will not stand for a country who mistreats those who aren't white and rich. Forced patriotism is fascism, and nothing less."

The student who was sitting called for others to sit down with him in solidarity, using the hashtag "#sitthef***down."

School officials explained to the Carroll County Times the student who kicked the chair was exhibiting "unacceptable" behavior.

Right. And they kick out students for wearing an American flag shirt...because it’s “hurtful”.

Not kicked out, but probably suspended for disrespect.

We expect students to stand at attention during the Pledge and not sit down, and not walk around the room.

In the video posted, one student is sitting down and the other student is walking around the classroom.

The country needs more chair kickers. God bless 'em.

He was not sanding with his hand over his heart for our Pledge, he was instead walking around the room and did not have his hand over his heart.

“So what? How you know it wasn’t over?”

If the Pledge of Allegiance was over, there would be no reason to remain standing, and all the students should have been sitting down.

How eloquently the kid stated that bit of shortsighted, ungrateful bit of unreality.

If we want to practice free speech in that school, I have a team of Gideons ready, willing, and able to go to each classroom to offer New Testaments.

Oh that would get the liberals going.

I was on a campus many, many years ago. Some men were giving out Gideons. They weren’t yelling, condemning, nada. Simply had a desk set up where anyone was free to walk up and take however many they wanted. I saw at least one girl, maybe 2 go by and go off on them. One girl in particular.

I was on a different campus (student both times) when one guy WAS preaching really hard - He attracted a few remarks, I seem to recall. BUT that guy was really harsh - the Gideons didn’t do that and the girl still went off on them (other campus).

Jesus said, we played a dirge and you didn’t weep - we played the flute and you didn’t dance.

In the good old days, jackasses got their asses kicked usually only once and learned their lesson. Now a days they hide behind their “freedom of speech” and cry foul to their nannies.........We need to return to the good old days of respect and ass whippings...........
