Student sits during pledge of allegiance; gets chair kicked out from beneath him

[Pat Mustard]

Let's face it. It's not disrespectful even if you're not protesting.

I think it is disrespectful if you are not protesting for a particular cause. Not standing up for no other reason than just because you "can't be bothered" is disrespectful. So many people have died for this country and risked their lives for it. Meanwhile someone else can't even be bothered to stand up for 2 minutes? I see that as disrespectdul to those people and especially to those people's families who have to deal with the fear for, and absense/loss of, their loved ones.

It's an unconstitutional piece of rabble rousing rhetoric more suited to somewhere like Nazi Germany.
