When This Liberal Student Refused To Stand For The Pledge Of Allegiance His Teacher Did This [VIDEO] According to recent reports, a 14-year-old student Fatima Smart has reported her teacher for bullying her after she refused to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Smart claims that her Monadnock Regional Middle School teacher told her to leave the room and lectured her about patriotism after she refused to honor the flag. She kind of used me as an example in front of the class to say that, You have to stand for the flag salute, or you can be like Fatima and wait outside, Smart told reporters. She claims that she refused to stand for political reasons. I dont like our government at all, she continued. I think they are making mad decisions and I didnt stand. I dont like pretending to believe in something I dont believe in to please othersThey have their rights, and I have mine. Smart went on to issue a formal complaint against her teacher, but is yet to receive an apology from her. Her family believes that the teacher refuses to apologize because her father is a former military man. What do you think? Would you have done the same thing if you were the teacher?
