The Faux Patriots Club has reared its ugly head again. For those of you unfamiliar with this club, its main concern is making sure that people understand what being a Good American™ is all about: waving plastic flags made in China, prominently displaying lapel pins, hating all things French and reciting the pledge with more feigned emotion than your neighbors.
It seems that three eighth-graders at Dilworth-Glyndon-Felton Junior High School in northwestern Minnesota failed to understand that in the ‘Land of the Free’ standing during the Pledge of Allegiance is mandatory.
"These three [students] didn’t, and they got caught," said Mel Olson, the district’s community education director. He said he backs the punishment, "being a veteran and a United States of America citizen, absolutely." Olson served in the Marines in Japan during the Vietnam War.
Mr. Olson fought against those dirty, godless, communist bastards to ensure compulsory love of country would not perish from this earth.
Freedom means doing what you’re told, baby.
