The student that refused to stand for the Pledge, then had the nerve to complain, is a complete pussy and needs his ass kicked. WTF is wrong with these kids?!? I can already envision what his parents are like.

The student(s) peers need to take care of this problem. Back in the day a good ass-whooping at the very least - with the knowledge that any rebuttal will result in an even MORE severe ass-whooping.

Isolate them - and make them unwelcome at the school. Since the adults refuse to be - time for the other students to step up.

His peers involved in that activity would have been arrested and charged with assault. They probably would have been considered a 'gang' and the Feds would roll in with RICO charges.

But Fox News reported that in a letter home to parents and staff, the school superintendent said the pledge incident was not the sole factor in Furkin being banned from Parkway South.

‘While we cannot share details of individual personnel matters, we would not recommend that a substitute teacher be restricted from a school simply based on a single isolated incident such as this.

'Several factors, including prior concerns at other schools, would be taken into consideration before making a recommendation.’

The video in the link said he gave students his contact info and took some pictures of the students both of which are against school policies.

Leave it to the media to use the detail most likely to stir up drama.

Now I am sure this is going against the grain here however let me yours this out here; let's say the student had never stood for the pledge (for whatever reason - it's his/her right) and after the pledge the sub bird dogged that kid when thanking the rest of the class. Was the sub being unethical by calling out the kid in front of the rest of the class?
