14 year old arrested for citing free speech provisions of Bill of Rights

It comes down between knowledge and wisdom. He has the knowledge, no he has to attain the wisdom to use it.

schools not children. If a child has a problem at school they should make there voice heard. They sould talk to their parents then the parent should confront the schools. Oh thats right parents are not aloud in the schools anymore until they round all the kids up and get everything looking ok. Then they open the door and let the parents in. See we have huge problems in this area. Children should not be talking back to their teachers. Teachers should be teaching math english and history (that is correct) and science (void of religion [evolution]) and parents should have full access to the school and have a say in what happens in the school. Teachers should not have outside influence from government telling them what or how to teach. cariculum should be chosen by teachers school board and parents. All having say in text books that get brought into the school. But see most people don't want to run for the school board. Teachers come out of this garbage school system and only know the doctrine as it has been taught to them plus they feel underpayed. Parents don't have time in their busy life for their kids and government sees an opertunity to make millions of zombies for the mob. Its a Democracy making machine why wouldn't the government lick their lips when they see the door standing wide open. Public school is a failure for learning. Unless you feel we should continue to pump out the mob. They are close to not needing schools any more. Actually parents are teaching this stuff at home now they have just about accomplished what they wanted to. Mommy and daddy the good little communist can now indoctrinate them in the privacy of their own home. Then children really have no choice. They have no voice at home or at school. They have no other recourse but to speak up with their own mouth. This is why normally revolutions always seem to hit colleges first. Its really sad to watch this country fall apart like this just another reason for people to get involved. When the youth have to start standing up to these people by themselves it says alot about us as parents but it speaks volumes about the American spirit in our children and I'm sure this scares the crap out of the government when the youth can be woke up in the middle or at the end of the indoctrination. Think of all the money they have waisted. Its like feeding us all floride to make us lethargic only we get more energetic and want to fight harder. The more shots they give us the stronger we will probably get. They have mixed so many diffrent things into us that as we bread they might just make us a country of super humans. When they release bird flue it probably won't hurt us we will probably become super furtile. Every thing these people do will end up backfiring on them. They are not God. They are sick. They need a "DOCTOR".

now. everybody keep this bumped.

without knowing the whole story. You have to weigh the rights of the children with the fact that the teacher has to maintain some sort of quiet order in the classroom. I've had this talk with my children several times because...

My 14 year old would have reacted the same way. He doesn't put up with the teacher silencing his opinion. He has been sent to the office several times for standing up for his opinion, and his 1st amendment rights. Ususally it starts with the teacher telling the students something questionable about our history... my son questions the teacher (as he is a big-time history buff who reads lots of books about historic events... not just textbooks).. then she tells him to be quiet. He doesn't appreciate the fact that her "facts" don't agree with his "facts" and so he expresses something like, "Just because you are telling these kids that the Civil War was fought over slavery doesn't make it necessarily true. There are other opinions on this subject."

Since the teacher generally doesn't know any other opinions on said subject, she wants to correct my son... when he's just trying to make sure the other kids understand that "history is written by the winners" and that every little "history" taught by the public schools system is simply the opinion of the authors... and that there can be... and is... other opinions about what actually happened.

She'll tell him he's wrong, or to shut up... and then he gets angry and says she's wrong and that the textbook doesn't tell the whole story... and then she tells him to shut up again... and then he goes into the 1st amendment and the Bill of Rights that gives him freedom of speech.

Then, inevitably, he has to go see the principal. Luckily, we've got a sensible principal that realizes that expressing an opinion in the classroom is not a punishable offense. The principal hasn't called us (as parents) to the office yet for one of these incidences. She usually just tries to make sure the my son understands that he doesn't need to create to much disturbance when voicing his "opinion".

I remember one time he got sent to the office for having a swastika drawn on one of his folders. He was writing his own essay (nothing to do with school, he just likes to read and write about history) entitled "Politics and Power" and he had a Jewish Star of David, a swastika, a hammer and sickle, and an American flag drawn on the cover of the folder that had his writings in it.

The teacher pitched a fit and sent him to the office without letting him explain himself. The principal listened to his story and sent him back to class without even a reprimand.

All I can say is, we're lucky to have Dr. Wheaton as his principal. Otherwise, I'm sure my son would've been taken out in handcuffs by now too.

they issue a public apology to this kid!! both in writing , and in a press release!!

This young lad is trying very hard to be a good citizen and good man. It is my fervent hope that someday he sees fit to join the Freemasons, since I would be very proud to call him "Brother".

Hypocrisy. It's not natural for one to accept hypocrisy and that is exactly what these GIC's teach. I dropped in my 10 grade year went down the street and took a GED due to this. Teachers don't like it when you can prove they are hypocits and that believing in what they are pushing is folly. Not all of my teacher were douche bags but it only takes one. When I faced the Dean of the school it was all over.

Constitutional values. He certainly is fortunate to have been raised in an environment conducive to such endeavours. Unfortunately it may seem like it sometimes, as it does everywhere- but I hardly see this town as an area of concern as a "police state". We hear one side of a story with many details left out. Before judgement is cast on the entire community it may be wise to hear the other side of the story. The school has a website with contact information. It appears to be a tight knit community that prides itself on school/home communication and it may be unfair to assume that they are not . Before we rush to judgement and herald this bright young man as the next Ron Paul at the cost of his school district and the local law enforcement that answered the call we may want to learn more of the facts. http://www.breckenridge.k...

implement the money for use on public education to the President and Governor that make the Police State a reality.
Clean all anti-Constitutional representatives out of office elect Pr-Constitutional representatives.
Hooray for this kid and all who stand up for there God given rights.

kid is VERY AWAKE, I see a future RON PAUL. Gosh, he would still be to young in 2012 presidential bid. Peace

Perhaps, but the fact is that the government schools are indoctrination camps for world citizenship and the kid is obviously smarter than his teachers...

Remember this? http://youtube.com/watch?...

watch his other videos!
truly inspiring.

He wasn't talking about his free speech rights when he was first asked to hush. Sounds like another case of, "Hey, look, we have a police state." When will the youth and others in America realize that there will always be authority and it is not unconstitutional to respect it. This particular video absolutely does not PROVE to me that he is a respectful young man. When I see respect for authority and STILL police enforcement, then I will be concerned. Many people have not learned respect for authority at all. As far as saying the teacher did not know that free speech is a constitutional right, I think he was just getting all self righteous and argumentative. Sounds like he was interfering in a volatile situation and making it worse. That is what I hear from this tape and I am on his side. Maybe some very important facts were left out that would persuade me the other way.
