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.
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.
