These people are very predictable. Find me an article about a kid who is "scary smart" who isn't being used to promote some stupid perversion. I can promise you that if he was standing up for virtue he wouldn't get the same write-up.
They've been especially dismayed by the effort to take away the rights of homosexuals – the right to marry, and the right to adopt. Given that, Will immediately saw a problem with the pledge of allegiance.
The kid can't be too smart or he'd realize that no one is taking rights away from anyone.
I hate seeing a kid being used the way this one is. He lives in an inverted world in which a kid gets positive reinforcement, he gets to feel very righteous, standing up for perversion.
Not standing for the flag? Wow. Real brave. These days there must be nitwits all over America who won't stand for the flag; I'm surprised there are any schools left where they say the pledge, to tell you the truth. Most places thats a thing of prehistory.
I teach 3rd grade in Texas and after our US and Texas pledges today our principal played God Bless America in honor of Veteran’s Day. Yes, I do teach at a public school.
