Wrong way to go about things. The kid has a right to not say the pledge if he wants.

The main thing is that scheduled recitation of the pledge of allegiance is given as part of the public schooling experience.

If the rest of the class recites the pledge, little jihad johnny will experience some degree of 'peer pressure.' The left has used this tactic for years.

Read post #6... the kid was trying to get those in the class who were reciting to stop.. during The Pledge. His Rights weren't being violated, he was being sent in the hall for disrupting class, interrupting others, and generally being a little jerk. If he wants to start discussions about the flag or the necessity of reciting The Pledge, he can do it on his own time, and without interrupting others who are reciting it.

That is the point I was arguing.
