Best story in a long time!!

Will is my hero. By tomorrow (I hope), we'll have a donation website up and it will be posted on Wills Facebook page and his Mom, Laura, will verify it is not a scam.
I'm just a Chicago housewife trying to do what I can to get this child to the best law school possible. dkrolls@swbell.net
There will be more than one site, since so many people want to give money.
Check out his Facebook page often, and by the evening of November 25th I hope to have one site up and the Paypal account verified with the family's info.
God bless this child.

Will is incredible. I made him this image so others can show their support: Will Phillips has a posse.

Religion is the pretext for every infringement of human freedom: it is the argument of tyrants; it is the origin for injustice, bigotry and prejudice based on sexual orientation. When I do good, I feel good. When I do something bad, I feel bad. That's my religion. What does being an American mean? It means to enjoy liberty and justice (the essence of freedom). Will Phillips said “I really don't feel that there's currently liberty and justice for all” and refused to stand for the pledge of allegiance. For that he was called a gaywad. Americans who believe in freedom, tolerance and human rights have a responsibility to oppose injustice even if it means not pledging alliance to their own government, for as long as that government refuses to recognize the rights of its citizens. Remember, it is necessary only for the good man to do nothing for evil to triumph.

Children have an incredible sense of justice, but Will Phillips is especially gifted and compassionate. This is an inspiring story, which I hope will encourage more citizens of this country to stand up for the rights of us all no matter color, creed or sexual orientation. Will is a hero!

way to go, will. high five from Atlanta, GA.

I agree with Will 100%. I too refuse to say the Pledge of Allegiance and have refused to do so since I was a child, seeing the complete lack of “liberty, and justice for all.” I congratulate Will for having the guts to stand up for what he believes in. The Pledge is meaningless if you don't believe in it.

You go Will—

Great Kid!
Great statement against injustice!
Now if we could keep this country from giving life sentences to folk for smoking pot and get rid of that moronic seatbelt law!

There should be more kids like this boy! What a brave boy he is! Grtz from Amstedam; the Netherlands

This kid will be a leader! Showing all these qualities at 10 y/o is great; outspoken, stands up for what he believes in, and respectful about it! I give 110% of my support being a veteran of 5 years and deployed to iraq for 8 months during OIF8! Right on buddy!

Clearly Will has a strong sense of justice and an understanding of the world that few obtain even as adults. I hope he continues to stand strong for what he believes in. His parents deserve a lot of praise for raising a child with such insight and inner strength, as well as continuing to support him in his actions and beliefs!

Thank you all for your words of support. To those who disagree with him I would thank you for your time and consideration. When this first started up Will was adamant that he didn't mind public criticism if it raised awareness and 'educated people”. Initially I advised him to “pick his battles” and that it was “easier to just go with the flow.” He took a moment, chose his words carefully and said, “Sure it makes things easier but then nothing ever changes.” From the very start he has viewed this as a “non-violent disobedience act”, as an activist, and a statment about equality. If you want to see Will's speech given to the NWA Center for Equality check this link- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgC9HsuAwaw respectfully, jay phillips tobe17200@yahoo.com  http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/nerdjayrocks

A powerful statement by a young man who understands what true power is and how to exercise it his sphere(s) of influence. Thanks, Matt!

Kid's got moxie. Moxie, I tell ya.

We all talk the talk but a 10-year-old is walking the walk.

Can someone get me a tee shirt with this kid's face on it?

B'awwwwwwwww what a brave little guy! good for him, he should be an example to all of us to stand up for what we believe in.

Looks like Carrie Prejean loses when it comes to “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader.”
