Chalk up another W for justice as the legal team at Roc Nation helped dismiss a case against 6th grader Jabari Talbot, who was arrested in February for refusing to stand for the pledge of allegiance at his Florida Middle School. Eventually the story reached Team Roc, where notable attorney Alex Spiro was selected to help with Jabari’s case without charge. With the help of Roc Nation & widespread national support, Talbot was ultimately granted his right to freedom of speech ⚖️

He wasnt arrested for not standing, they claim he was being disruptive.
Cliff Notes : They sent 6th to jail because he was disruptive, after a substitute teacher argued with him about standing for the pledge
Heres the full story.

A local news outlet, Bay News 9, reported that the confrontation began after the student at Lawton Chiles Middle Academy, near Tampa, called the flag racist and described the national anthem as offensive.

Citing a statement provided to the Polk School District by the boy’s substitute teacher, the station reported that the teacher asked him, “why if it was so bad here he did not go to another place to live."

“They brought me here,” the boy replied, according to the statement.

After the teacher told him he could “always go back,” she called the school's office “because I did not want to continue dealing with him,” the station reported.
The district did not respond to a request for comment on Sunday, but a school spokesman told the Ledger, a local newspaper, that students are not required to participate in the pledge.

The spokesman, Kyle Kennedy, told the newspaper that the teacher, Ana Alvarez, wasn’t aware of that policy and would no longer work with the district.

After the confrontation began, the school’s dean of students tried unsuccessfully to calm the student down, asking him to leave the class 20 times, police said.

“The school resource officer then intervened and asked the student to exit the classroom and he refused,” the department said. “The student left the classroom and created another disturbance and made threats while he was escorted to the office.”

The Lakeland Police Department said in a statement that the boy was not arrested for refusing to stand for or recite the Pledge of Allegiance. "This arrest was based on the student’s choice to disrupt the classroom, make threats and resisting the officer’s efforts to leave the classroom."

Talbot denied that her son made any threats and said the school "didn’t handle it the way they should have handled it."

She told NBC News her son was overwhelmed with the situation, and she transferred him to another school.

Context is everything. This did happen in Florida though, so forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical about their version of the events.
 
I never stood up for the pledge through most of highschool. I would be out all night and basically sleep at school so would get to my desk and lay my head down and pass out for the first couple periods. This army brat bitch that set next to me hit me on my arm and shook me and told me "stand the fuck up!!" when the pledge started and I immediately saw red and looked up and said "bitch, i will put you through this fucking desk". I wasnt REALLY gonna put her through the desk, but the teacher didnt like me saying that and sent me to the office and i got in school suspension that i didnt attend then got out of school suspension for 3 days.

Skeptical about what? That sounds exactly how i think it went down & they're def in the wrong. How you have a 6th grader arrested for disruption because he protested being kicked out of class over standing for the pledge.
