State of California EDUCATION CODE, SECTION 52720
this does not require but only says there shall be conducted appropriate patriotic exercises. The giving of the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America shall satisfy the requirements of this section.
To: CyberAnt
For those who might be interested. From the original group who met and discussed the contents of the 1st draft of the constitution...about 25 percent of these folks did not return to represent their state and sign the final draft. There are a lot of folks in colonial America, 1776....who had concerns about mixing politics and government. The British government had demonstrated a major problem in handling affairs, and they did not want to repeat that mistake.

who had concerns about mixing politics and governmentDid you mean "who had concerns about mixing religion and government"?

this does not require but only says there shall be conducted appropriate patriotic exercises.It empowers the bureaucrats to require, which is exactly what they do. Consequently, the law as enforced and interpreted by the relevant officials has the effect of requiring that teachers must recite the pledge, and the students must at least listen. Were this not so, you all would have no cause to be so upset, since the invalidation of a requirement that isn't really a requirement would be of no consequence...
