"I was analyzing the meanings of [the Pledge of Allegiance] because I want to be a lawyer," he told CNN during a television interview. "I looked at the end, and it said 'liberty and justice for all,' and there really isn't liberty and justice for all. Gays and lesbians can't marry. There's still a lot of racism and sexism in the world."
Phillips said when his substitute teacher asked him to stand for the pledge, he refused: "I eventually very solemnly with a little bit of malice in my voice said, 'Ma'am, with all due respect, you can go jump off a bridge.'"
His father sat beside his son, smiling during the CNN interview.
...I don't even know what to say. Anyone? This kid has a great mind--it devastates me to see adults using it as a toilet.

He may grow out of it. The problem is that kids tend to respond to attention and he is getting a lot of attention for this. I hope his parents wake up but then again they are getting attention too, something they never would have otherwise. I get a really bad feeling about this kid. I pray he is protected.

Leftists destroy absolutely everything. If they don’t destroy a child’s life, they’ll destroy his soul.
I still don’t see why we should suffer a leftist to live.
