Boy Arrested for not Saying the Pledge - Clay

This week, an 11-yr-old boy was arrested because he refused to recite the pledge of allegiance. He ended up getting arrested and detained by school officers after getting into an argument with the substitute, which is as follows: the boy told his substitute teacher that the American flag is racist, she asked him, according to her report to the school, “Why if it was so bad here, he did not go to another place to live.” The boy reportedly responded, “They brought me here.” The teacher then said, “Well, you can always go back, because I came here from Cuba, and the day I feel I’m not welcome here anymore, I would find another place to live.” The teacher then called the office because she “did not want to deal with him,” after which, the school officer arrested the boy and he wasw suspended for three days.
