A ten year boy by the name of Will refuses to pledge his allegiance to the flag during class in which they do on a daily basis. The boy's main reason for not pledging was because as there is truly no "liberty and justice for all". The meaning being he will not pledge to the flag until gay marriages are legal. The boy interpreted the pledge and came to a conclusion that our country is not abiding by what the pledge actually says. Will still to this date refuses to pledge his allegiance to the flag all because he thinks that it is unfair and will not pledge until a change is made in the world. I think that this kid is a very intelligent, courageous person. It takes a lot of fortitude to stand up to a group of people trying to make a difference in the world and set an example of being a loyal proud american. I also think it is a very bold action due to the amount of circumstances that come along with his actions knowing that people would find out about it. The boy is extremely into justice and equality considering he is supporting gay rights even at the young age of ten years old.
