I haven't verified this story but: “A teacher at East Middle School in Farmington Hills, Mich. is being accused of forcibly dragging a black sixth-grade student from his seat for refusing to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance.
The unnamed teacher is reportedly under investigation and was put on leave from his duties after “violently” grabbing young Stone Chaney out of his seat for not standing.
“The teacher consultant comes up behind me and snatches me out of my chair violently,” he told WDIV-4 of the Sept. 7 incident. “I was so confused. I didn’t know what was going on.”
These reactions are from white Americans unable to see themselves through other's eyes. No one gives a damn about that pain of theirs. It has always been like this: Blacks and others conquered and dominated by Euro-Americans have always stood above and away with their intimate knowledge of our white people! When light hits upon their myths there is always a violent reaction. It is fear based, but belongs to them. Because they haven't the propensity to do their spiritual work leave them to be, is what Black protest is about on a deeper and invisible level! - Gregory E. Woods, Keeper of Stories

"[Francis Scott Key] shared a general view of the free people of color as shiftless and untrustworthy: a nuisance, if not a menace, to white people. He spoke publicly of Africans in America as "a distinct and inferior race of people, which all experiences proves to be the greatest evil that afflicts a community."'
