Good for him! I'm glad that the younger generation seem to be more accepting of gays and lesbians...Shows there is hope for the future!

Good! I am ADAMANTLY against the recitation of the pledge of allegiance as it is currently worded.

Wow. I'm surprised. When I first read the title I thought, "Who put this in this kids head" but it sounds like he came up with this on his own. What a head on his shoulders this kid cracks me up

I don't think he should've told the substitute teacher to, "Go jump off a bridge." I think it's great that he's wanting to voice his opinion, but I think that things could've been handled differently.

wow, I would be extremely proud of my son for taking a stand like that. Also, he is so smart and very articulate for a ten year old!
