FEDERAL COURT DEFERS TO PARENTS WHEN IT COMES TO PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE

Pledge of Allegiance

While the Pledge of Allegiance may be recited in public schools, schools may not require students to recite, salute, or stand for the Pledge. Unless a student affirmatively tries to interfere with the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance, any student wishing to remain quietly in his or her seat should be allowed to do so. A student should not be punished or sent out of the room for exercising his or her right not to recite the Pledge.
