There are far too many parents like this.
He may have really come up with that on his own. Even so, I agree with Kevin. This was on CNN?
But them I'm one of those people who does not find it amusing when kids "say the darndest things." He should be punished for talking to the teacher like that.

On another note, I refuse to say the Pledge, and support his decision in that regard. I just don't support kids talking back to their teachers. I can't even imagine what I would have done had one of my students said something to me like that. But they knew better.
