PASCO COUNTY, Fla. - A first grader in Pasco County chose to take a knee during the Pledge of Allegiance, and his mother is upset with how the teacher, the school and the Pasco County school district responded.

At school on Monday, a local first grader went down on one knee during the Pledge of Allegiance, he was then told by his teacher to stand up and stop it, in front of all his classmates. His choice came after countless NFL players took a knee during the national anthem on Sunday, setting off a storm nationwide, sparking discussions in homes across America.

That boy's mother is speaking out because of a text message she received from her son's first-grade teacher about the incident.

The text message read:.....(see inside)

"FINALLY....an ADULT TEACHER!!! Let me guess the color of the kid and mother."

As usual, you get three guesses and the first two don't count.

When I was a kid we had ways to handle things like this.

children at this age are mirrors, not lights

I always get a kick out of Leftists praising very young children for being very smart, for attacking Conservative things.

No, they are just mirroring abysmal behavior by those around them.

they are proof positive of nothing, but they can be incriminating evidence

You would because you parents would have not objected. In a workplace like the NFL the owners dictate behavior, which is why Godell is at fault

In a school what’s the answer. Other kids are learning to disrespect the nation when kids (and their parents) do this.

In the case of a Mexican family doing this what to do when our elected officials continue to import criminals, citizens of a foreign country

“...after countless NFL players...”

If about 200 players is “countless” you need remedial education.

Im going to guess the mother’s name is LaQuanda and the kid’s baby daddy, who knows..yeah Im supposed to believe that a FIRST GRADER would even know about this whole kneeling nonsense to insist on doing it himself..I feel sorry for the kid I can imagine what his mother is teaching him at home, to be a victim, everything is whitey’s fault

Her goal is to start a conversation. She said that she teaches her son to have an open mind and make decisions and that this issue is way bigger than her 6-year-old son.

"What [the text message] said to me was that him taking a knee was the exact opposite - [That] He was disrespectful of the country, he was being disrespectful of the flag... And we don't teach that."

The above is straight from the mother's lips...liberals have been disrespectful of our country so long, now they don't see it as disrespect. No wonder the NFL is confused that they have angered so many fans!

If NFL coaches/owners would have done the same thing this teacher did the first time Kaepernick took a knee during the National Anthem it would have been great! Unfortunately that did not happen.

In the good old days, a paddling would have had the child wanting to stand for a week.

In the case of a Mexican family doing this

Here in Pacoima during the Election all the Illegal Mexicans around proudly burned the flag and drove around with Big Banners and Signs,Stickers saying FU&K TRUMP.

THEY HATE AMERICA and Only want to suck off the Taxpayers like the leaches they are, their ONLY allegiance is with the hellhole they fled.

When I was a kid, such an un-American action would have been unthinkable.

“The only way the school will let the kid kneel is for a signed note from the parent.”

Re-read the article.
