Well, howdy there, internet people, it's Bo again.
So I guess we have to talk about Lakeland, Florida again and why it's important to read
more than just the headline.
So the headline comes out, the child who did not stand for the pledge will most likely
not be prosecuted.
Hey, we won.
No, no, that is political spin.
That is an attempt by them to defuse the situation.
The reality is, he's still going to be punished.
It says that most likely he will be sent to a diversion program.
So he's going to be punished for exercising his constitutionally protected rights.
If you're just tuning in, what went down more or less is there's a substitute teacher
and a child in the class does not want to stand for the pledge.
He doesn't have to.
West Virginia State Board of Education versus Barnett, this is established case law from
the Supreme Court.
The decision's been around, I don't know, like 80 years, something ridiculously long.
So she attempts to kind of shame him or coerce him into saying the pledge.
This is when the interference with the educational process seems to have occurred, when she attempted
to violate his rights, that's what it seems like.
After telling him that he can go back to wherever he came from, or something along those lines,
she gets fed up and she calls the school administrator who comes down and tells him to leave the
class, Tinker versus Des Moines.
He cannot be punished for a protest at school as long as it does not interfere with the
educational process. Him remaining seated did not interfere with the
educational process. Okay, now enter law enforcement. The gun of the government.
The cop tells him to leave the class backing up what the school is
trying to do.
Is it lawful for him to do that?
That's going to be the big question when this either goes to trial and then in the lawsuit
afterward.
From where I'm standing, it wasn't, but hey, I'm not a lawyer.
Okay, so he arrests this kid for disrupting the school and resisting arrest without violence.
I'm not sure how either one of those charges are going to stick, especially the disruption
of the school.
His protest didn't by all accounts.
Okay, and then there's the other little matter here.
Any elements of offense in Florida
for resisting arrest without violence,
the officer has to be lawfully detaining him.
Was he?
Okay, so that's what the court case
is gonna look like, basically.
Now, people have asked me to give an update on this before and I said I couldn't because I was probably going to be
involved in some activism. I'm not going to. The local activists do not want to. They've kind of overruled what I
wanted to do. So my idea was to go down there with the National Anthem on loop and show the school board what
a disruption is.
But I was overruled.
Okay, so I guess, and they have said I can say this, it looks like the current plan of
activism is to go after the campaign contributors to basically everybody in
the government down there. Any business that contributed to any of them, they're
going to arrange boycotts and stuff like that. That appears to be the activist
side of it. The legal side of it, I do know that the child has counsel, has
retained counsel and that that's where we're at but the key thing we have to
notice here is is that headline most likely not be prosecuted sounds like
they're dropping the charges that's not what was happening and this is what
we've got to be very careful of in today's world in many cases the local
papers are, I don't want to say in bed with, but they have ties to the government officials.
And in a lot of papers, basically they just print whatever the press release is.
That isn't what happened here, but it was still framed in a way, and that headline especially
was framed in a way to seem to attempt to defuse this situation and make it seem as
as though the law enforcement down there has righted their wrong.
It's not what's happened.
It's not what has happened.
It doesn't matter how you punish the child.
The end of the day, you're punishing him for exercising his constitutionally protected
rights.
That's where this chain of events started.
And if you do that, that flag is worthless.
It means nothing.
It's not worth a pledge.
It isn't.
You're confirming everything this child believes.
You are making that flag worthless.
Anyway, it's just a thought.
It's just a thought, y'all have a good night.
