To hell with those kids. I wish that teacher had shoved that flag up his ass..

Will be interesting to hear the reason he stayed seated. Hopefully he refuses to recognise a flag that so many atrocities are carried out under.
I read through the comments part of that link Mr. C, theres some navy genius trying to be a hard man. Heres some of his comments...
"Your disrepectful friends can't SUE ANYONE. They are PUNKS. If you didn't stand for the National Anthem on a military base, we'd take you out back and beat the crap out you."
"You can't do squat. I know people like you...you are the first to run away when a REAL MAN puts you in your place."
"The PUNK that cursed at the teacher should be sent to a National Cemetary to dig the graves of solidiers that have served or have been killed. You're a bunch of spoiled PUNKS that deserve a kick in the balls and a 1-way ticket to MARINE BOOT CAMP and the FRONT LINES IN IRAQ!"
No wonder the invasion of Iraq was such a 'success' with quality people like this in the US armed forces boosting the 'hearts and minds' policies.
The best though, is another poster who posted the words to the village people song "in the navy". I haven't laughed as much in days. Can just imagine Private Hardmans face when he saw that ROTFLMAO!!

I know you may be joking, but just in case...
I believe the video was shot from a camera phone, which the student was trying to hide from view. He wouldn't have been able to aim using a viewfinder. Thus, bad shots.

The friends of the kid who didn't stand have stated that this teacher has reacted violently in the past, they wanted to capture his behavior on film. Now, while I'm fully aware that these kids may be disrespectful jack-asses to him in the past, the teacher has no right to force the kid to stand. He can sit if he wants to and shouldn't have to give a reason. Bravo to the kids for standing up to his thuggery. I would support my child in doing the same.
Saying that every person should be forced to stand at attention during the anthem, irregardless of their desire not to do so, is nothing short of fascism. Plain and simple. We are not communist China, we are not North Korea, we are not Soviet-era Russia, or Nazi Germany.
I am, personally, confident enough in the founding ideals of this country that I'm not afraid of people choosing to sit out.

It's comments like this that make me want to burn a flag for spite. Bravo on your violent tendencies and continued support of child abuse!
