They’re saying in the comments that Gen Z is cut from a cloth quite a few generations back. We’ll see.

I enjoyed that the kid then turned, placed his hand over his heart, and said the pledge like nothing had happened.
Bet the kid stands up every time the other just enters the room.
Guy must be a hockey player. 2 minutes for interference, some penalties are worth it.
Well played.
Violence? I didn’t see any violence.
If you won’t stand then you can lay flat on the floor and salute the ceiling, twirp!
Like I always say,
let gravity be your friend!
Violence? He slipped on a bar of soap! He should be more careful!
Absolutely Deplorable.
A little violence come in handy once in a while.
That was very satistfying.
Violence? It was a sudden burst of gravity!
I saw the whole thing, that kid in the chair tried to trip him.
If and only if the sitting kid is a J/W then that was wrong. But, as I don’t think J/W’s go for the metro sexual hipster look, I’ll take the risk and add to “well played”.
Heh, who do you think the chicks are digging in that class now?
Gravity is an excellent educational device.
The young man who tripped over the chair leg deserves a scholarship to Hillsdale College. Heck I’g donate 100 bucks to his scholarship.
Unfortunately, the YouTube commenter who said “Generation Z aren’t pussies like our parents and grandparents” immediately followed up with “1488”.
OK, nobody got hurt and it was funny.
Back in my day that would have ended in a fist fight. Although in my day the kid flipping the chair would have been the asshole. We all stood with our hands over our hearts and knew the Pledge of Allegiance by heart.
Well…..he stood.
Chair kicking kid: Doing what the parents didn’t and the teachers cannot! BRAVO!
That student should be expelled and arrested for the shirt alone. What he did was assault. That is criminal.
Well, call me a dick cause I see a couple problems here.
The way I read the Constitution, the 1st applies to everybody. If the kid wants to be a “rebel” it’s his right. He’s seeking attention, that’s what kids do. Ol’ doc martens & shorts also seeks attention, and what a coinky-dink there happens to be a 3rd person recording it for posterity. Likely he and his cameraman are in a heap now. And what’s up with the teacher, no control over class? They allow phones in class? I’m old, but in my day you couldn’t even an abacus to class.
To me it’s the same as kids only wanting to fight when everybody is watching. F**K That.

Young men need to learn the Alpha Male Beta Male thing. They don’t anymore. That’s why we have Antifa.
NOT VIOLENCE!
In the age of spin and newspeak, it’s “alternative kindness.”
“Classroom Encouragement”
Come on Bongopoofter let’s really not pretend kids never flipped chairs in our day. Like I said earlier usually the chair flipper was being an asshole, but it still happened. Although, in my day a kid would not have been disrespecting the flag, but I do remember a few boys who disrespected a girl and a boy would kick his ass in seconds flat.
Teachers also didn’t intervene real quick either, sometimes it’s a good thing to let kids fight it out.
Justified.
I have no doubt the chair flipper knew he would get into trouble, weighed the punishment against the crime and against his sense of patriotism. Which was more important to him is apparent.
…and the chair sitter, who probably doesn’t drive a car or shave yet, has no defense. He probably doesn’t even know why he’s sitting in a chair. The young patriot *knows* why he is standing.
Tough love is tried and true.
If he fails to stand, do it again.
I love the shirt.
i’d be all fed up over a little arrogant twit too. Probably been a chair sitting PITA for weeks.
It was due.
Cha’ching! A line has been drawn. Set the standards and then cow them. 👏
Looked like an “accident” to me….;-)
@Larry The Liberal: You can’t arrest a person for failure to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance, regardless of what you think of his unpatriotic behavior, or what kind of tacky-looking shirt he happens to be wearing. And that kind of passive-aggressive behavior could hardly be called assault. You should know better than that. Shame on you.
