What is this country turning into? Can you believe it? I read in a news article that a student was kicked out of school for patriotism! I had such a shock that I thought I was dreaming. It happened in Harrison, New Hampshire. In America! I thought this is a free country. How can such a thing happen? A tenth grader was suspended from his local school just because he sang "The Star-Sprangled Banner" during the school's morning exercises. The boy, Philip Malloy, who wished to sing in the spirit of patriotism, was then forced to remain home alone as both his parents work. His English teacher, Margaret Narwin, who brought about the suspension, maintains the boy was making a nuisance of himself! I sang "The Star-Sprangled Banner" many times when I was a child. The teachers did not scold me! This teacher, Margaret Narwin, has no right to suspend a student just because he is patriotic to our nation. I am infuriated at her actions. She is a disgrace to the teaching profession.
If I were that poor boy, I would fight for my rights, and make sure that teacher is taught a lesson. She should not be allowed to teach at all! Why should we respect people who condemn the spirit of patriotism in this free nation? "The Star-Sprangled Banner" is a way of showing our patriotism for America, the country where we belong. I cannot imagine the consequences if every teacher is like Ms Narwin.
Furthermore, the teacher said that Philip Malloy was making a nuisance of himself! She has no respect at all for our national anthem. Is singing "The Star-Sprangled Banner" a nuisance? Definitely not. I love my country. No one will stop me from singing "The Star-Sprangled Banner"!
This incident must be made known to America, to the world! I will definitely talk about it at my talk show tomorrow. Imagine what will people think about it? What will you do if you are wrongly accused? They will be flocking to listen to my talk show, and they will be cursing Ms Narwin. This is what she deserves! The school should not hire her in the first place. I strongly believe that our students are the country's future, and they should be educated well. Ms Narwin has failed as a teacher, and as a citizen of America!
I support Philip Malloy and encourage him to fight for his rights. He does not deserve to be kicked out of school at all. What is the school doing? Shouldn't they prevent Ms Narwin from doing so? Are they in cahoots with her? Philip Malloy is a loyal and patriotic citizen of America. We should learn from him and stand up for our rights. Go Philip! For America!
