Pledge of Allegiance debate sparks controversy in Frederick County

FREDERICK COUNTY, Md. - Should students and teachers be required to recite the Pledge of Allegiance? It’s a topic that’s recently caused some confusion and a little bit of controversy in Frederick County.

Here’s the backstory: Officials with Frederick County Public Schools said that in late April, a message was sent to staff at Twin Ridge Elementary School in Mount Airy. It said in part, "recently there have been questions about reciting the pledge of allegiance in classrooms." The message then cited a Maryland law in saying all students and teachers are required to say the pledge.

"It’s a complete nonstarter under the First Amendment," Aaron Terr said of the message Tuesday.
