C.J. Pearson says he took on two bullies and that the school system was retaliating against him.
Teen political blogger C.J. Pearson suspended for cyberbullying
Source: The Augusta Chronicle
The Columbia Middle School student who received national attention for his conservative political views – including strong criticisms of President Obama – has been suspended for cyberbullying two classmates, his attorney confirmed.
Internet phenom C.J. Pearson is accused of “bullying two white female students” on Instagram, said attorney Randy Frails, whom Pearson retained yesterday.
Pearson posted a video Monday on YouTube urging supporters to contact the Columbia County Board of Education on his behalf. The video has more than 70,000 views and more than 1,500 Facebook shares.
Pearson said Thursday that the school system is using an incident in which he stood up to two bullies to retaliate against him for previous clashes he’s had with school administration.
