American Flag

Finally.

Via Daily Caller:

A California high school student got her grades docked after she refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance because of her American Indian heritage.

“She told me I was being disrespectful and I was pretty mad,” Leilani Thomas told a local news outlet Thursday. “She was being disrespectful to me also, saying I was making bad choices, and I don’t have the choice to sit during the pledge.”

Thomas says she has been sitting during the daily pledge since second grade, after her mom and dad told her what the pledge meant to them. This is apparently the first time a teacher took action in response to her protest. The teacher at Lower Lake High School took points off her participation grade.
