[quote=Anonymous]Posted this on a different thread. I was a teacher. Years ago, I taught a child who was a Jehovah's Witness. (There were several in our school.) The policy in our school--set by the principal--was that the child was to stand during the pledge out of respect for others in the class. He also had the option of leaving the room and standing in the hall while we said it. He usually just stood. I'm not sure what the policy was during the National Anthem. This was first grade and we did not play the National Anthem that I can recall. We did frequently sing patriotic songs in class (I love them, and so did the kids), and I don't recall whether he did or not. We sang Stars and Stripes Forever, America, God Bless America, You're a Grand Old Flag, etc. The kids loved those songs. (I did not have any immigrant kids--this was primarily a poor African American community.)[/quote]
