Boy Who Knealt For School Pledge Expelled

Back in the old days of the public schooling system, we would all be made to stand for a moment at the start of every day.  The announcement would then proceed to have us put a hand over our heart, and recite the pledge of allegiance to the United States of America.

In those days, America was grand.  Our parents worked at the city factory, the black people called you “boss” and lived clear across town, and there wasn’t a long line at the border.  Everybody just got along and there wasn’t any reason to protest anything.

But today, young 11-year old Joe Barron of West Queefshot, Ohio, doesn’t see it that way.  Encouraged by his favorite sports stars in football and basketball, he decided to “take a knee” to draw attention to police injustice in our country.  And he was immediately expelled for it.

His teacher, Jenny Tayla, says the kid was asking for it.

“I told him to stand for the pledge, like a good citizen, and he laughed.  He said ‘good citizens don’t just stand by and let their supposed protectors beat them into paste’.  I didn’t know what to say.  I called the principal.”

His school, John Wayne Elementary, says they’re perfectly right to get rid of the troublemaker to preserve the behavior of everyone else.

“It may sound communist, or like something the bad guy would do in a movie,” says principal Lee Kyorrear.  “But it’s appropriate right here.  Now stand up straight.”
