kids shouldn't have to chose to participate in pledge ceremonies which call upon God in public school. Making an exception is sending the kid out of the room to avoid it or having them sit. It means the kid is not part of the class activity being required by the governmental authority. It means you are imposing a religious belief upon the kid against the wishes of their parent. Why is this such a difficult concept. The only reason it is being done now is the ranting and raving of the majority wanting to kee[ their idea pf God in a school system which is for all children..

What if the kid wanted to stand but remain silent? I've never heard of that not being allowed.
