Case: Pledge of Allegiance
You teach 6th grade at a small elementary school in a conservative community. It is school policy that at the beginning of the day, all students recite the "Pledge of Allegiance." A new family moves into town, and their 6th grade son is in your classroom. He refuses to recite the pledge, and refuses to be in the same room while the recitation is occurring. What ethical and legal considerations should you consider in dealing with this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
It is not mandatory to have to recite the "Pledge of Allegiance", with freedom of speech a students has the right to recite this or not. No one can make this student do something he/she does not want to do. |

| Comments: This solution identifies that the pledge is not mandatory, but my concern is that it doesnot adequately address what the student could be doing while the rest of the class is reciting plus, the comment about student behavior could backfire when it comes to other acitivies or classroom assignments |

| Comments: I agree with this solution. Just because school protocol is to recite the pledge, doesn't mean the student has to participate. |

| Comments: This is true. It is a part of freedom of speech. I would just ensure that he is not discouraging other students from reciting the pledge. |
