Kid arrested for not standing for pledge...

[GrandizerII]

And yet, you're STILL not providing any reason to assume this incident was racially motivated. How much longer do you want to go back and forth like this for? I have all day. You continue to spout off what-about-isms and unrelated examples that having nothing to do with the situation. The kid was not arrested for refusing to say the pledge. End of story.

The kid wouldn't have been arrested if he hadn't refused to say the pledge. It's not like the kid just decided to cause disruption out of nowhere.

How come you haven't addressed the cop shoot black man analogy part yet? Do you believe it's unreasonable to suspect (without explicit confessions of a racist attitude) that a black man may have been unnecessarily shot because of racial biases, and especially given the stats and the studies that support the idea of subconscious racist attitudes?

It's not actually racially motivated in the sense that people are being consciously racist. It's more like biases that are [probably] at play here triggered by the perception of skin color.

Here, from the link I posted earlier:

Federal civil rights investigations have found that black students are punished more harshly than white students in schools even when black and white students engage in identical or similar behavior.

"But that's irrelevant to what's happening here!", sayeth open-eyed PRJA93.

Oohh, here's the other side of the story:

Student's attorney: 'They overreacted'
The student's attorney, Roderick Ford, says the family disputes the version of events in the police report.
"It's our position that the police report has been largely fabricated in order to justify the wrongful arrest," Ford told CNN on Monday.
He said the student had never used the word racist: "They interjected the word racist to mischaracterize the event."
Ford said the student indicated that he was not participating in the pledge because he felt that the American flag represented unfair and discriminatory treatment of Black people.
"At that point, it is our position that this young man was well within his legal rights," he said.
"The substitute teacher then says, 'If you don't like it here, go back to where you came from.' And he said 'Do you mean Africa?' And she says, 'Yes,'" Ford said. "The young man then says, 'You are our teacher you should not be talking to students this way.'" At that point, Ford said, the teacher called security to the classroom.
Any subsequent altercation with the security officer took place outside the classroom, meaning the classroom was not disrupted as alleged, the attorney said.
"This is no different than someone making a more legally sound argument in a court of law, it's just that this 11-year old put it in the way he articulates it," Ford said. "They overreacted."
Ford said the student had been due to appear in court Tuesday morning but that his appearance had been moved to another court as they planned to fight the charges. It is unclear when the new hearing will take place.
