Leilani Thomas is a student at Lower Lake High School who started her protest by sitting out the Pledge of Allegiance when she was in second grade when she didn’t even know who Colin Kaepernick was.
But her quiet rebellion was criticized by her teacher who decided to punish the little brave girl by docking her participation grade for not standing.
The only person who supported student’s decision was Konocti School District Superintendent Donna Becnel. She said that Leilani has rights to sit down because of the first amendment.
Very courageous girl!
