Philip Malloy Speech

In Harrison High School, Ninth grader in Harrison High school got suspended for humming along to the Star Spangled Banner. His name is Philip Malloy, here you will read what really went down in Ms. Narwin’s ninth grade homeroom class. On Wednesday, March 28 at around 8 am the announcements are said then the national anthem plays. That is when Philip started to humming along to the song. That is when his teacher started to scold him for humming softly to himself. Then again the next day Philip was humming softly humming to himself, once again Miss Narwin started to embarrass him in front of the entire class by saying “Philip, stop this insolence!” right before sending him to the assistant principal's office (Dr. Joseph Palleni). In the office, Philip and the assistant principal they had a discussion about what happened. During the conversation
Mr. Malloy was on his son’s side on this matter so was his mother. Mr. Malloy told his son, “Phil listen to me. Don’t give in to that crap. Don’t let them push you around. Singing the . . . There must be some mistake.” following by “ You have to stick up for yourself. That’s all there is to it. Phil, do what you feel is right. We’ll stand behind you.” This will heavily affect what happens next. The next day, around eight am Philip was at it again. He disregarded everything that Dr. Joseph Palleni (the assistant principal) and his homeroom teacher (Ms. Narwin) and continued to hum along to the national anthem. By then Ms. Narwin had enough and was fed up with Philip fooling around and sent him to the assistant principal’s office again. There Philip told Dr. Joseph Palleni that Ms. Narwin was against him being patriotic, all that Dr. Joseph Palleni would say is that the rule is to stay silent during the anthem.After that conversation, they suspended Phillip Malloy, this makes you think what other patriotic actions Harrison High School is
