5th grade boys spot a bully and take action
MANKATO, Minn. - All the students at Franklin Elementary start every day with the Pledge of Allegiance.
But the "justice for all" part belongs to five fifth grade boys.
"Why pick on someone," Jack Pemble begins to ask, as Jake Burgess finishes his question, "who has special needs?"
They're talking about James Willmert, a fifth-grader from another classroom, with a learning disability. Which, it turns out, can get a guy teased.
