Needville High School in Texas suspended Mason Michelac after his refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance as a protest against big government.
“I’m really tired of our government taking advantage of us,” said Michalec in a statement to KHOU. “I don’t agree with the NSA spying on us. And I don’t agree with any of those Internet laws.”
In protesting against our authoritarian government he runs into an authority trying to limit his first amendment rights.
I agree with him on the points about BIG Gov, but he is a little misguided, the pledge of allegiance has nothing to do with the government and EVERYTHING to do with God and Country and Patriotism.
then leave!
You can hate the existing Government, but you showed disrespect to the Country and all who served to protect your rights !!
There is a kid that is willing to stand for what he believes and adults are to afraid to say anything….I am proud of you kid!
Think he’s tired now, wait till he starts working and paying taxes.
There are ways to protest Big Government…………that isn’t one of them
Give him a break folks! He’s a kid!
Have to start some where some time.
Good for you Mason. I agree that the government is trying to take over everything we do, we all need to fight back.
You shouldn’t hate your country or flag just because some idiots are in charge.
