Spoiled Brat Wants Things His Way Or He(And The ACLU) Will Sue
A high school pussy has sued the Palm Beach County School Board, claiming he was ridiculed and punished for refusing to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance.
Cameron Frazier, with the support of the
American Civil Liberties Union
, is challenging the school district and Florida law that require students to show written permission from their parents before declining to recite the pledge. Teacher Cynthia Alexandre called the 17-year-old student ''so ungrateful and so un-American'' after he twice refused to stand for the pledge in her classroom Nov. 8, according to a federal lawsuit. Frazier the brat was then removed from the classroom. He is seeking unspecified damages and legal fees. ''Patriotism is more than going along with everybody else and just saluting a flag. It's about things like supporting our troops during the holidays and helping hurricane victims,'' Frazier said in a statement
provided by the ACLU
. ''This lawsuit is not about the Pledge of Allegiance,'' said Howard Simon,
executive director of the ACLU of Florida.
``It is about his right to choose not to stand to recite the Pledge of Allegiance.'' School district spokesman Nat Harrington said he could not comment on pending litigation.
STATE LAW State law says the pledge needs to be recited at the beginning of the day at all elementary, middle and high schools. A student must stand for the pledge even if he is exempt from reciting it with a written request from a parent, Harrington said. ''You cannot be disruptive during that time or any other time,'' Harrington said.
