"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.
