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 hes had with school administration.

(73,631 posts)Since then, there have been some developments: http://cjpearson.org CJ Pearson endorsed Rand Paul, then Ted Cruz, leaving the campaign after some controversy, offered himself to Donald Trump and Carly Fiorina campaigns, before declaring his independence (and called CNN a liar) and endorsed socialist Bernie Sanders. Later he declared himself a democrat. He is 13-years-old and his guardians have requested their consent before he is talked to by the media.
