1. Dr. Curry showed that the USA’s first Pledge of Allegiance used a straight-arm salute and it was the origin of the salute of the monstrous National Socialist German Workers’ Party (Nazis). Curry helped to establish that it was not an ancient Roman salute, and that the “ancient Roman salute” is a myth. http://rexcurry.net/pledgesalute.html

2. The Pledge began with a military salute that then stretched out toward the flag. Historic photographs are at http://rexcurry.net/pledge2.html and at http://rexcurry.net/pledge_military.html Professor Curry showed that, due to the way that both gestures were used, the military salute led to the Nazi salute. The Nazi salute is an extended military salute. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html

3. Francis Bellamy (author of the “Pledge of Allegiance”) and Edward Bellamy (author of the novel “Looking Backward”) and Charles Bellamy (author of “A Moment of Madness”) were socialists. Edward and Charles were brothers, and Francis was their cousin. Francis and Edward were both self-proclaimed National Socialists and they supported the “Nationalism” movement in the USA, the “Nationalist” magazine, the “Nationalist Educational Association,” and their dogma of “military socialism,” and Edward inspired the “Nationalist Party” (in the USA) and their dogma influenced socialists in Germany, http://rexcurry.net/bellamy-edward-german-connections.html and the Pledge was the origin of the Nazi salute. “Nazi” means “National Socialist German Workers’ Party.” A mnemonic device is the swastika. Although the swastika was an ancient symbol, Dr. Curry discovered that it was also used sometimes by German National Socialists to represent “S” letters for their “socialism.” Hitler altered his own signature to use the same stylized “S” letter for “socialist” and similar alphabetic symbolism still shows on Volkswagens. http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-swastika.html

Especially evident here is the teacher’s unprofessionalism. “Big desk” and “little desk?” Utterly unprofessional.

In a situation like this, everybody gets his (or her) dander up, and, before you know it, federal case. Lovely, eh?

P.S. Does “maturity” extend to referring to a civil-liberties plaintiff as a “little brat?”

Totally agree. All the power mad teacher had to do was tell the possibly snot nose kid that this would be discussed later. After class, the policy could have been quietly explained to the student. After all, this apparently hadn’t been an issue since 6th grade (however long ago that was).

Instead of a big slapping of dicks on the table (metaphoricly speaking) the school officals could have handled the situation as adults, instead of playground bullies. “My desk is bigger than yours” Sheesh!
