PASCO COUNTY, Fla. - A first grader in Pasco County chose to take a knee during the Pledge of Allegiance, and his mother is upset with how the teacher, the school and the Pasco County school district responded.

At school on Monday, a local first grader went down on one knee during the Pledge of Allegiance, he was then told by his teacher to stand up and stop it, in front of all his classmates. His choice came after countless NFL players took a knee during the national anthem on Sunday, setting off a storm nationwide, sparking discussions in homes across America.

That boy's mother is speaking out because of a text message she received from her son's first-grade teacher about the incident.

I was going to say, “Let me guess” but there was no need to guess, was there?

Some people are just plain ignorant and want to pass it down the generations. That is the tragedy of a liberal mindset, and the children will suffer because of it.

I call that “child abuse”.

My cousin was held back and had to repeat third grade. The teacher was my aunt - his mother.

If I had taken a knee during the pledge of allegiance, my Mother would have literally killed me.

and probably buried me in the back yard.

As for this child’s mother see my tagline.

I discovered naughty words, and the more I stood in the corner, the more I wanted to say them.

Mom must not know that the Pledge of Allegiance [without the under God line] was written by a socialist.

No mention of the name/”heritage” of the snowflake America-hating “mom”, that I could find - makes me suspicious...

“When I was in school the policy was that parents who objected to their kids standing for the Pledge were allowed to put it in writing”

The idea of possibly not participating in the Pledge did not exist in the mind of anyone when I was in school in the ‘50s and ‘60s. It’s what you did; it’s what everyone did.

There are so many other countries in the world where America haters can choose for relocation. Why are they HERE??

“Mother is a neat and articulate black.”

But is she “bright”, “clean”, and “nice looking”?

Joe Biden, 1/31/07: “I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that’s a storybook, man.”

A child that age has no idea what the kneeling is all about.

Not to justify the action by any means....

The teacher did right.

My 4th grade teacher, Mrs. Walker, would’ve beat him like a red-headed stepchild at a family picnic.

Why does anyone have to buy themselves, even if they think that doing so would make them into a hat.
