A Pennsylvania girl who refused to recite the Pledge of Allegiance was suspended from school.

I'm surprised that school, "administrators," trained and credentialed, don't realize the legalities these issues entail. Reciting the Pledge is not even required to, "learn" this common speech. However, I urge parents that IF they chose a traditional school such as this for their child, irrespective of this religious faux pas, parents and students should, to the extent possible (outside of religious beliefs), support the school's implementation of the essentialist ideas they signed up for. If they don't want them, they should chose another school that allows for individuals to behave as individuals, choose their curriculum as individuals, etc.
More later folks!
