The Pledge of Allegiance

from Bostonred · host bostonred

“I've never been to a school where I was called to come get my child, and no one would talk to me about what’s going on," said Kizzy Landry, India's mother.“She can't come to my school if she won't stand for the pledge," Kizzy said the principal told her.It’s something India has done for as long as she can remember.“I don’t think that the flag is what it says it’s for, for liberty and justice and all that. It's not obviously what's going on in America today," India said.It’s never been a problem - until now.“They were making rude comments saying 'This isn’t the NFL, you wont do this here'.KHOU 11 has also reached out to civil rights attorney, Randall Kallinen, who says this is a violation of India’s First Amendment right because the school is public and is treated like a government.
