ANSONIA, Conn. - A Connecticut high school student was pulled out of classes and reported to police for substituting "ISIS" for the "United States of America" during the Pledge of Allegiance.

The incident occurred before Christmas break, according to the Connecticut Post.

Lt. Andrew Cota said the 15-year-old student at Ansonia High School wasn't charged, but the case was turned over to the Department of Homeland Security. Police said there is no danger to the community. Federal officials declined to comment.

I would just assume some joker trying to be funny.

Me too. Kids are incredibly stupid. Based on the very limited information here, I would urge caution before calling for the kid to be lined up and shot.

Most likely he was pulled from school to keep him from getting put into the hospital. Ansonia is a old factory town and very patriotic (old-school democratic-union). The high school wasn’t known as an exceptional school for education but they are sports-happy, especially football. As this is a minor we don’t know if it was a gag or intentional but I will assume that what the school board did was prudent. The parents will have to suffer the consequences of the child’s actions.

Agree. Without more info., chalking this up to a stupid kid acting stupid. His offense was being a disruption in class. However, mama shouldn’t get a pass. She’s the dangerous one in this story. Snowflake should have gotten 3 licks from the board of education at school and daddy’s belt that evening. Smells like there isn’t a daddy in the home which explains a lot.

Rebellious children can say extremely stupid and mean things. They are like liberals in that way. : )
