Chicago firefighter Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) is shocked to learn that his son is suspended from school for refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance with his high school class in the April 4th episode of NBC’s Chicago Fire titled “Take a Knee” (http://forums.previously.tv/topic/55730-s05e18-take-a-knee/?do=getLastComment). Christopher sets about finding a way to teach the teen about true patriotism in the best way possible.
Young Lee Henry (David Von Kampen) is upset that the school’s vending machines have raised the prices on their items for sale so he decides to protest by refusing to recite the Pledge of Allegiance after the teacher instructs the class to stand and do so. This results in Lee Henry being suspended. Christopher does not take the news well. Lee Henry cites pro athletes as examples of those using the First Amendment to protest.
