The topic title is courtesy of my son who would refer to the kid in question in just such a manner.
I'm surprised this one hasn't been posted yet. Some 10 year old kid refused to say the pledge of alligence because america does not give liberty and justice for all, especially when it comes to gay rights.
Ha ha I can see using that excuse with my dad when I was a kid.
The article mentions that the teachers hassled him about it, but I doubt they really did. Anyway he told his teacher to go jump in a lake which got him in trouble etc etc.
This is a WTF item for me, I mean what can the kid possibly know about gays? At that age I didn't even know what homosexuality meant.
And as far as the pledge is concerned I'm not that big on it because I feel that pledge was written for a country that's now extinct so there is no applying it to what we have now. But still...
Boy, 10 refuses pledge
