CNN) — A Florida sixth-grader who was arrested last month following a Pledge of Allegiance dispute at his school will not be prosecuted, his attorney said Wednesday night.
The student at Lawton Chiles Middle Academy in Lakeland refused to take part in the Pledge of Allegiance on February 4, according to the Polk County School District. At the time, it said the student was arrested for becoming disruptive, not for refusing to participate.
The case attracted national attention after Team Roc, a branch of the Roc Nation entertainment company founded by hip-hop artist Jay-Z, became involved. It raised awareness about the case, describing the teen's arrest as wrong.
In a letter to the teen's mother, Dhakira Talbot, the county's teen court said there are no pending issues.

So wrong. His parents should be deeply ashamed.
This ping list is for the other articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
My guess is that anything north of $1 million dollars will be considered a reasoned and just resolution to the case.
Why didn’t the teacher just have him leave the room? Do not allow him to be disruptive.
Oh he’ll be prosecuted eventually.
“Dhakira”...?? Well, THERE’S your problem, right there...
And yes, she appears to be VERY familiar with the Big Mac and Quarter Pounder wi’ cheese...
Maybe the whole thing was just blown out of proportion. (cough)
Then again, she might have an inflated opinion of herself.
Now would be a great time to assign his class a report on Venezuela.
Maybe, like many schools, the principal would just send him back to class without a word.
She's clearly a Double Quarter Pounder wi’ cheese type!
There’s a LOT there to inflate.
She needs a whole CASE of “Fix a Flat” for inflating that ass....
When she sits around the house...
