Florida sixth-grader charged with misdemeanor after refusing to recite Pledge

[*michaelsean*]

One sick person who didn't know the rules, and then a giant over-reaction by some other adults probably based on some zero-tolerance policy.

I'll take a wild guess and say the substitute teacher is most likely Catholic, and if she came here when a child she absolutely had to stand and recite the pledge if she went to a Catholic School, and just assumed it was the same in every school. Or she came here two years ago, and I'm completely wrong.

Edit: Crap I left out a whole part. I can say maybe honest mistake on the teacher at the beginning, but the things she said after were way over the line. I know some immigrants can be super-patriotic, but that was too much.
