‘Take that thing off your head’
ROTC student suspended for telling Muslim to respect flag, remove hijabMaybe it’s because her dad served in the U.S. Marines … or because her high school mascot is a fierce-looking eagle … or because she plans to enlist in the Army next summer after graduation to defend her country … whatever the reason, when Heather Lawrence saw a Muslim student refuse to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and recite it with the class, the 16-year-old Junior ROTC member saw a teachable moment and took it.
And for that, she’s been suspended five days. }} more…
Good for her! I’d have sued the school for suspending me and transferred to a new one with guts instead of muslim-appeasing liberals.
Except that the muslim girl’s homeroom teacher claims the girl DID stand for the pledge, and Heather’s homeroom teacher claims Heather was in homeroom and couldn’t have possibly seen whether the Muslim girl had stood or not.We need to be careful when jumping on stories like this before all of the facts are out or, like in this case, we’ll end up with our foot in our mouth.
Hopefully the Army can teach Heather about something called “integrity.”
BULLSHIT, Lyin’ Ryan. Take a hike to Daily Kos where you belong. And my foot is already up your ass! –Admin
