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.
Why would OBAMA come after him….Obama doesn’t salute the flag or the Pledge.
Under the First Amendment this is his right. Law Suit would be a good ideal against the school system.
shame
Well Harold I have no respect for the POS what so ever. Nor do I have any for the democrats in government. He and all of them are useless humans.
You pledge allegiance to your country first and for most. You find another way to protest that does not disrespect the flag, republic, and nation under God. Hold you rights and beliefs for the right time to protest!!
a very smart teenager hopefull he will not vote dem
There are plenty of other ways to do this and he should have gotten some info first. For example the American people come first. What this country represents and the laws of the land and the U.S. Constitution is supreme. This was a poor attempt of 15 min of fame. This kid is doing something and perhaps his ideals are also, but men have given their lives to this country and you will stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance. The Pledge of Allegiance is about what we stand for, our culture, our legacy of heroism, and not the president.
Protest the government do your best we all encourage you. But your dumb ass better stand for the pledge and recite it for all the vets who ensure your the right to protest
I do not like that he did not honor our country by saying the pledge, buyt
You people calling him names are the names you calll. He just needs to be told to PLEDGE HIS ALLEGIANCE TO THIS COUNTRY to fight big gov.
