or maybe you are just a socialist at heart, huh? No...read my posts and look at my history (if you only knew). I just have an aversion to people looking to be offended.

This kid did the right thing. He followed his heart. Who are you or anyone to tell him, or the other children, they MUST stand? This is BS.
It was not disrespectful, but even if it were, he has the right NOT to stand even if the US anthem was being played and to NOT be bullied by teachers beause he chose not to.
Hooray for him and his father for raising a chld with values.

Good evening.
"I just have an aversion to people looking to be offended."
Aren't you are saying you find this boy and his father's actions offensive?
You are supporting an attempt to intimidate American students into bowing a knee to multiculturalism and political correctness.
I understand the Canadian taking that stand, and Melas is new to the FreeRepublic, but there is no excuse for you. Maybe the nuns are to blame
