ALTHOUGH. You can be suspended from school for not standing for the pledge. Legally a school cannot do this, but they somehow get away with it (As I was suspended for not standing). The only way to get around it is if a note is presented by a guardian stating that you are not permitted to stand. EVEN THOUGH in "West Virginia ed. v. Barnette says "a citizen can't be forced to confess their loyalty"

America is such a corrupt place. What happened to freedom?
