[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They don’t have to stand, the Supreme Court made that clear decades ago. 
Get over it.

This.
I’m 42.  Growing up, there were 2 children in my elementary classes who did not recite the pledge due to religious reasons.  They sat quietly at their desks.  This was in rural VA, and no one made a big deal of it.  This isn’t something new, OP.[/quote]

I am old school I guess,  I remember back in Hamilton Elementary School  in the early 90s there was a student that never stood and the 5th grade teacher told him that he has to stand, he doesn't have to recite it, but he needs to stand as of respect, I guess its different now.  I grew up that we need to stand and recite the National Anthem and the Pledge even while we are at home.   [/quote]

That's totally fine if those are your values for you and your children. But the law says that those values cannot be imposed on the rest of us. Your 5th grade teacher was wrong then, too.[/quote]
