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!)
First, I would talk with the student and determine whether his religious believes prevent him from reciting the pledge of allegiance. Next, I would talk with his parents to confirm what I have learned from the student. I cannot force the student to recite the pledge. However, I should familiarize myself with the school and district policies in order to determine the best course of action. |
