They also apparently make kids have moment of (religious) silence and say the Texas pledge, whatever that is.
But a brave kid who says he's tired of NSA surveillance and government run amok in general refused to stand, and now.... has exposed the American Taliban conservatives in Texas for what they are: utter hypocrites who should never again be believed when they or any conservative say they believe in the Constitution.

Student:
Saying he was ready to accept the threat of more suspensions, Michalec said, “I think it’s time people start doing something for themselves and stop just taking whatever is handed to them.”
Michalec added, “I ‘m angry and frustrated and annoyed that they would try to write me up for something that I have the right to do.”
