We give thanks (a.k.a. the kids ARE all right)
I am thankful this kid's maturity especially in this time where adults are behaving like ninnies and schoolyard bullies.
If you can't be bothered to sit still for that whole video--it's painful when the CNN anchor interrupts, I do understand--watch The Daily Show's take at least:

You can disagree with his stance, but you cannot disagree that this kid is preternaturally motivated and logical about his passions. Unlike the screamers in the media, demanding blood, pushing purity tests and other bullshit, Will simply, politely as possible, said he wasn't trucking with something. He exercised his First Amendment rights, and he went about his day. He sounds like the world's most well-adjusted preteen ever. If only adults would so carefully consider their actions and measure their responses to perceived injustices. Nerds 2^2 Ever, indeed. You rock on, Will.
(And, please, do not listen to the goddamned CNN fuckwit. He's not half as smart as you. You don't ever have to say the goddamned Pledge of Allegiance. There doesn't have to be a point where you drop your objection. That's something you'll learn as you transition into being an extremely sharp teenager and, eventually, voting adult: whether or not you agree with it or with the country touting is irrelevant, no one can make you say anything you don't want to. If you just plain don't FEEL like saying it, fuck it.)
