Reading comprehension is becoming such a lost art. I clearly said it started with him refusing to stand for the pledge.
Any dialogue with the teacher would have resulted after that. And to be clear, are you saying that it is okay to arrest him just for saying that he somehow believed the flag was racists and the National Anthem was offensive to black people?
And is this the first time in that class they were every asked to stand for the pledge? Why hadn’t this horrible and offensive kid ever gone off like this before this substitute teacher arrived on the scene?
What do you think it was about this particular day that was different than any other. Any possibility it might be the substitute teacher with the problem and not this kid? Any possibility she might be embelishing along with the school some to cover for their ridiculous handling of the situation and not just respecting the students rights?
No, of course not. Wonder what your tune would be if this was your kid being abused for something that all started with him simply exercising his lawful right not to do something.
Try that last sentence again please, it doesn’t make any sense the way you wrote it.
And you clearly didn’t understand my post, because your whole rant about it being more than not standing for the pledge would be unnecessary if you did.
Are you trying to deny that it all STARTED with him simply refusing to stand for the pledge?
texas law requires that kids recite the pledge… not sure they are required to stand for it though…
India, now 18, was sent home last year after sitting during the pledge. Her mother, Kizzy Landry, said when she came to pick up India, the school provided little details as to why her daughter was kicked out. Later, the principal told the mother"She can’t come to my school if she won’t stand for the pledge."
According to Texas law, students must recite the pledge unless they have a parent or guardian’s permission to opt out.
I’m willing to let those who were there and dealing with the case make the call on what’s appropriate.
From the OP.
" A student in 6 th grade created a disruption in the classroom. The School Resource Officer and Dean of Students responded to the classroom and attempted to calm the student down. The student was asked over 20 times to leave the classroom by the Dean of Students. The School Resource Officer then intervened and asked the student to exit the classroom and he refused. The student left the classroom and created another disturbance and made threats while he was escorted to the office. "
So by that logic asking a kid questions in class warrants a twenty minute tantrum disturbing the class, followed by refusing to leave so that the rest can resume with the regularly scheduled activities.
If we allow kids to takeover classrooms in such a manner how much schooling do you think will be taking place in our public schools?
Such a reaction no matter what the reason barring an unlawful act by the teacher warrants expulsion.
