AMERICAN OF THE WEEK: Jacob Reed of Sissonville High School, West Virginia.
CourtTV reports that when 15-year-old Katie Sierra, a self-styled "anarchist" AND "pacifist" (that's kind of like a meat-eating vegetarian) arrived at Sissonville wearing a t-shirt bearing this self-composed (and uninspired) satire of the Pledge of Allegiance . . .
I pledge the grievance to the flag
Of the United State [sic]
of America
And to the Republicans whom I can't stand
One nation under smog, indespicable
With liberty and justice for some, not all
. . . a fellow student, Jacob Reed, gave blue-haired Katie a generous dose of moral clarity when he allegedly told her, "If you don't like this country, then fucking leave."
The principal gave Jacob detention. Broadsides gives him American of the Week honors.
