VIDEO: Boy, 10, refuses to pledge allegiance until gay marriage permitted

"Justice not being served" says boy, calling for same-sex marriage to be made legal

Most 10-year-old American boys probably blindly recite their national Pledge of Allegiance day-dreaming of football and computer games, without a second thought about its true meaning.
 
Not William Philips from Arkansas, though. This bright little guy has refused to recite the pledge in his classroom until gays and lesbians can legally marry. After analysing the pledge's claim to provide "liberty and justice for all" he decided that liberty and justice was not being served to gays and lesbians across the United States, and refuses to recite the pledge until same-sex marriage is made legal. Perhaps the youth of today are not quite as doomed as we've been led to believe.
