I especially like how the student was suspended for "violating the teacher's rights" when the teacher was violating everyone else's rights by making them stand. Wasn't there a court case a few years ago that established that an individual did not have to stand/say the anthem/pledge of allegiance? Regardless, forcing someone to be patriotic is fascism, and I wish that I lived in NJ because I'd visit that school in person. |
Sure you would. Even if you did go "visit that school" and waste your time, what would you do there? Tell him off? Beat the guy's ass? That'll show those fascist pigs as the police escort you away in handcuffs!
Anyway, while the teacher certainly got out of line, I'll still have to side with him. Those kids seem like little fuckers. I should know, I use to be one. There's only so much shit people can put up with, and I'm sure the teacher has had to put up with a lot every single weekday since the beginning of the school year. I have been yelled at by teachers before, and I deserved it. Of course, thoughts like this come only in retrospect, and right now these punks probably feel like the system is out to get them. They need to grow the fuck up.
