"A high school science teacher was removed from his classroom in Duval County after he wrote a statement on his whiteboard reprimanding anyone who refused to stand for either the Pledge of Allegiance or “The Star-Spangled Banner.”
Below is Goodman’s full whiteboard statement:
“THINK: We had about a half million Americans die in our Civil War, which was largely to get rid of slavery. There are no longer separate water fountains and bathrooms in Jacksonville for “white” and “colored,” as Mr. Goodman remembers from the 1960′s. We had an amendment to the U.S. Constitution allowing women the right to vote. We have had a Black president. The superintendent of Duval Schools is a Black woman. Mr. Fluent, our principal, replaced a Black man, Mr. Simmons, who now is a D.C.P.S. administrator.
MY POINT? You are all extremely lucky to be living in the U.S.A. If you refuse to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance or our National Anthem (AS SOME PAMPERED ARROGANT CELEBRITIES AND ATHLETES TEND TO DO), are you revealing maturity and wisdom? Actually, you are displaying the opposite.
-Mr. G.”
District personnel were made aware of the situation.
“The statements made by the educator are not consistent with state statute or school board policy,” Duval County Public Schools said in a statement.
Florida Statute 1003.44 and Board Policy 3.60 says students are excused from reciting or standing for the pledge as long as their parent or legal guardian files a written request. The district’s code of conduct says students have the right “not to participate,” which includes “reciting,” “standing and placing the right hand over [their] heart.”
Goodman’s actions have been referred to the Office of Professional Standards for “review and appropriate action,” the district said. The teacher has been removed from his classroom.

Good for the students for not standing and riciting the pledge of Allegiance.
It was written by a socialist and is as fascist as fascist can possibly get.
“However, the stadiums did not empty out when the players disrespected the flag
That’s who is to blame for all this
The wimp football fans caring more about a game than their country”
And surprisingly there are plenty of those even here in FR.
My SIL is a HS teacher for juniors and seniors in a mid west flyover state, suburban community.
She said the last 4-5 years the students have been the most liberal she has ever seen in her 36 years of teaching.
All the old school teachers such as herself are mostly gone replaced with 20 something liberal feminist or SJW’s with an agenda
She is retiring after this year and she is going to help financially put her daughters kids through private schools.
“The statements made by the educator are not consistent with state statute or school board policy,”
Cuz everyone that aint black is racist- and white people suck, and no amount of historical fact can change our minds- and America sucks, and anyone that disagrees with that will be fired-
Yep! That explains his removal... It also demonstrates the worthlessness of every single government indoctrination asylum...
The Nation needs to not only eliminate the Dept of Education, it needs to eliminate ALL government schools and the systems that corrupted them 60-years ago...
Send all Fabians to the dustbin of history...
Duval County Public Schools are not schools just another reeducation system.
The left for the most part teaches and writes our history. That history is of what they see it as and omit American exceptionalism and blame America for what is wrong in the world. Just think,those who control history will shape the future. Our future is a leftist future? It looks very grim.
In a sane world, in a sane nation, he would be commended.
Make him the Principal

The little commie piggies have names and addresses. Our Founders left instructions on how to deal with Tory traitors under Committees of Safety.
