Sophomore student William Schweikert was given a three day lunch detention for "willful disobedience" during lunch on Monday April 17, 2018 for singing the United States National Anthem after finishing his packed lunch. A personal tradition, William will sometimes stand in his black suit with red or blue tie and show his patriotism by performing the Star Spangled banner, an action that is innocent, harmless and even constructive to the High School lunch room. By giving him this disciplinary action, Homestead High School has projected a tone of anti-patriotism among the student body, an event sparking frustration and confusion across all grade levels.
