A high school student has sued her school system after she says she was kicked out of the classroom for refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. India Landry, 17, says she was sent home from Windfern High School on Monday after refusing to stand for the pledge, even though she has sat through it hundreds of times previously. India, now a senior, said that she had been sitting through the pledge since ninth grade, calling it a protest against 'police brutality and 'Donald Trump being president'.' They said you are kicked out of here,' and 'The other woman said this isn't the NFL, you won't do this here.' The public school district did not comment on what had actually happened in the classroom but said in a statement: 'A student will not be removed from campus for refusing to stand for the Pledge. We will address this situation internally.' The lawsuit against the Cypress Fairbanks ISD claims that administrators had been 'whipped into a frenzy by the recent controversy over NFL players kneeling during the national anthem.' Students cannot be instantly expelled except for being a danger,' the suit states. India's mother Kizzy Landry said she was called into the school to pick her daughter up.' I've never been to a school where I was called to come to get my child, and no one would talk to me about what’s going on,' India says she has no intention of standing for the pledge in the future.'I don’t think that the flag is what it says it’s for, for liberty and justice and all that. It's not obvious what's going on in America today,' she said.
