“”My son wasn’t being defiant against America,” said Kim Dahl, mother of one of the students, Brandt, who attends Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Junior High School in western Minnesota.”
He was being defiant against the teacher and school. It’s no different than when the gym teacher tells everyone to stand up and stretch. You stand up for the pledge.
I sort of agree that suspension seems harsh, however.
1 day in school suspension is harsh...??....omg what kind of punishment is that...??....back in the day we would have been bent over a chair and swatted with a paddle....maybe thats what we need more of to teach todays kids respect...obviously what they have been trying for years now isn’t working..............
The little asshats disrespect America and get a free day, something that I don't think they will view as punishment.
Looks more like a reward to me.
