in a way it's better for yourself to just go with the grain on certain things like that. Just regurgitate the meaningless words for 30 seconds and go on with your day. It's easier for everyone. That's the way life is really.

I'm definitely not saying this kid was a hero or anything, but just because you don't have the spine to stand up for your beliefs doesn't mean we should all act that way.

The kid literally said he doesn't pledge to the flag and then unironically said that he pledges to the entire point of the pledge of allegiance/the representation of the flag.
He's just a dumb, edgy, contrarian kid that doesn't even realize he just contradicted himself to the point where he's actually going out of his way to not have a backbone and support his beliefs.
At least mindlessly parroting it for 30 seconds is just you going with the grain for normalcy sake even if the words don't really have much meaning to you. This kid is going out of his way and against the grain to not support his own self admitted beliefs.
That's not backbone, it's just stupidity.
It's like when you watch some videos online of someone do something real stupid and then you'll have someone say "wow he has balls" when in reality no, he's just stupid.

And also calling him stupid isn't even just a targeted insult, all 6th graders are dumb asses, you're supposed to be at that age.
