From that article:
Quote:The affidavit stated that the student threatened to beat the teacher, but Talbot told Bay News 9 that her son did no such thing.
Replace "black kid with probable conduct disorder" with "white kid with conduct disorder". Do you want to bet that the white kid would've been treated with kid gloves by the authorities and treated with dignity and understanding even if he acted out initially? Yeah, based on the stats, probably, yeah. Even black 11-year-old kids have to deal with overpolicing.
The problem is you're blinder than your suspicions. Oh yea, let's just take the mother's word for it. I'm sure she's totally impartial here and has NO motivation to lie for her child. Or yea, let's just assume that the child was totally honest with his mother about everything he screamed at the teacher. Jesus dude are you that fucking stupid? What is your obsession with making everything about race? I'm truly starting to believe that you are racist; you seem to see the world through a very troubling lens. One of the problems in our country concerning race is with people like you.
Stop using "what-about-isms" to back up your nonsensical point; I'm not falling for it. I know white kids who were arrested for refusing to leave a classroom and they never even made threats of violence or threatened to have people fired. Your idea of "if the kid was white" (which is a what-about-ism) is total nonsense.
Provide evidence for THIS SPECIFIC situation that shows it was about race and I'll gladly shut the fuck up. Did a single teacher or school official say anything about the kid being black or African-Americans in general mention anything about race? Until then you're talking nonsense. End of discussion.
Anyway, as I was saying, the kid was not arrested for refusing to stand for the pledge. The title of the thread is incorrect. There seem to be some obvious issues with how the school conducted themselves and I hope those issues are resolved, but this is simply inaccurate reporting.
