Are you insane? You'd tolerate bullying a 10-year old but criticize the adult who stands up for him?
None of the bullies was accosted in person and no names were named.
Get a grip already.

I don't know if I'd go so far to call her an adult..she was calling children names at the end, "you are DORKWADS"...isn't that what the kid in the interview was complaining about..?
but if you see it as being professional, so be it..

Yeah, I see that she was paraphrasing the bullies' words to get her point across. It's called irony.

Guaranteed to keep their watchers thrilled!
Unfortunately for Cnn they are falling into the abyss for "watchers" with that other station, PMSnbc..

If the kid's point (I can't know for sure from only this clip) is that he will not recite the pledge until we fulfill equal rights for LGBT, then it's a valid act of quasi civil disobedience and he was wise in selecting it because obviously he is where he is now.
He should be applauded. Of course, reciting the pledge is a patriotic act, but only in a superficial way. Fulfilling the meaning of the pledge in our actions is much more important to the purpose of our country, and in that sense, people often seem to have forgotten what the pledge really means.
It's not unpatriotic to use your rights to make a point, even if it offends some people's sensibilities about established customs. In fact, the opposite is true. It's unpatriotic in the United States, a country founded in the ideas of liberty, to sit around with nothing useful to say when other people's rights are on the chopping block.
