I hope this young lady gets a nice college fund out of this principal's stupidity.

I dunno, I think "Make America Great Again" is a diss on America. It's saying we aren't great right now, aren't living up to our ideals. So what's the difference?
Nailed it.
Yep. They are saying exactly the same thing. I wonder why their words are take differently?
Hmmmmm..... what could the difference be? Thinking... still thinking....

I'm sure you can use whatever discipline procedures you would use when a student is being disruptive during other class activities. What would you do if a student started singing la la la la when his ex-girlfriend was giving a class presentation? That's what you could do to the disruptive student during the pledge.

Well, 60 million voters thought he was the better choice, so there's that.

Half of those believe in creationism.
And half believe Obama was born in Kenya.
So....not really the brightest bulbs on the tree there...

la la la is disrupting the speech of others. Sitting is not. Any teacher should be able to figure this out.Anonymous wrote:I am also a conservative and former teacher... what is the mechanism for not preventing or disrupting?
