This is a Nation, not a social club for economic refugees and heathens. If you do not love America enough to pledge her flag, then you should ask yourself what you are doing here.

I also think you should say grace at lunch and any other organized gathering during the day where food is being served.

Barnette, 319 U.S. 624 (1943). Somebody in Santa Rosa County this past year decided to place a notice on the walls of every classroom informing the students of this legal right. But it has become perceived by many as a sneaky way to get students to not say the Pledge by outside groups. So now they're trying to just remove the signs from the walls so that it's not so 'in your face' and just put the notice in student handbooks instead. But regardless of one's reason for not saying the Pledge, be it religion, preference, culture, whatever, if you choose not to say it that's fine, but you must still be respectful during the Pledge and not make a scene with rude outbursts and heckling and so forth.

Does this bill still allow students not to participate in the pledge or does it force them to participate? I’m confused.
