Poll of the Day > Indiana Mom is SUING her 8 y/o Son's School for FORCING his ALLEGIANCE to USA!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

Jamie Porter from Indiana is SUING her 8 y/o son's Teacher AND Principal claiming he was forced to recite the Pledge of Allegiance at School!!

She said her son chose to sit quietly during the Pledge at Fuaqua(sp) Elementary in March and when asked why he wouldn't take part, the boy said he was protesting the US Government that he says are "Racist, Greedy and does not care about people"

The teacher, Kelly McFarland then said to the child "then you should leave the country" and the grabbed him by the wrist and DRAGGED him to the principal's office.

The mother is now seeking damages for compensation and punitive damages and for attorney fees.

The lawsuit names both the Principal, Mary Beth Harris and Kelly McFarland.

The Principal was said to have taken the boy out of the lunch line on the same day and FORCED him to recite the pledge with her as "practice"

The lawsuit says the boy was made to "feel that he had done something terribly wrong and was in trouble"

The school's lawyer, Jonathan Mayes said "The school corporation is reviewing the complaint with its counsel and has no comment at this time"

Do you think the Mother should win the lawsuit? let's see what people think.

Based on this I'm going to assume this story is very much exaggerated. Said mother should get nothing.

Lol no. She shouldn't get anything other then public ridicule and shame. Also maybe she should be fired from her job and if legal in her state publicly flogged.

Given that there's one place he'd learn that attitude, the asshole parents sound like they're most at fault for any issue here and therefore shouldn't be allowed to profit from their malfeasance. I say "parents" but the story somewhat suggests it's a single mom who, more than likely, is taking substantial benefits from the very government she criticizes.
