I Dont understand how anyone could blame the teacher. This child was clearly a terrorist. All sitting there, and not participating, terrorist.
Now I ask you all What kind of a person would not participate in the national anthem.
Answer: TERRORIST
I highly suggest the Bush administration look into this situation and by all means necisary destroy the terrorist insurection.

I would eject him for the duration of the National Anthem. I would do it basically because if he's not going to participate he can leave. I would also give him the option of leaving the room voluntarily and returning when it is over. Should he refuse, he is simply doing it out of disrespect. I would not tolerate disrespect of the flag in my classroom. I have too many relatives who have died to protect what that flag represents, many of them not even American citizens at the time.
Sure, the kid has the right to make a political statement. That's called conscientious objection. He also has the responsibility to deal with the consequences, and the consequences of that in my classroom would be leaving the room during the anthem.
Too many idiots today seem to want to be like the civil rights leaders of the 50s. Not enough idiots today seem to remember that those people, while their cause was just, were willing to face the consequences of their disobedience. Disobediance comes with a price, those unwilling to pay that price should shut the eff up and stay obediant.

Jesus H. Christ, that is one scary, twisted statement.

ChadTower:
It's not twisted at all. Had that kid's father taught him to be a man, the kid would have known that disrespect is NOT the way to protest. You don't disrespect a flag, you refuse to join in and leave so as not to spit on the graves of millions of men and women. One can protest intelligently. Intelligent protest gains an audience. Stuff like this gets you dumped on your ass.
Granted, the teacher is wrong for placing hands on the kid. There is no excuse for that and the teacher should also accept consequences for doing so.
BTW, Jesus has nothing to do with an incident in a public school. Haven't you already covered that?

He knows what he did was wrong because he wants his last name withheld.....
The kid disrespected his country and disrespected the teacher...
