There's nothing more embarrassing than telling a Native American to leave the country just because they didn't stand for the pledge of allegiance

@cherokeepatti a while back there was a cali native student who got here grades docked because she wouldn't stand for pledge, it made the news and the comments were pretty vile

@Zenyatta I'd like to hear what she had to say when they told her to leave the country....

@Zenyatta I think the main issue is drawing attention to themselves.......if they choose not,they shouldn't be noticed,

@Zenyatta I heard someone say she was told to go back to her own country, I guess the person who told her thought she was Mexican...but have also heard of Natives telling a foreign student to go back to their own country and to me that is just as despicable, very inhospitable to live on a campus and do that...
@Zenyatta I don't think anyone should stand. Or remove their caps at games. It's moronic. It's straight up brainwashing forcing people to recite some stupid ass pledge. I never stood. Once. Big deal right? Nobody got hurt.
