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!)
I actually had a student that could not participate in saying the pledge of allegiance because of her religion. She knew that every day she could remain seated or step out in the hall during this time. If students asked, I would explain that different cultures believe different things and we should respect everyone's beliefs. |

| Comments: This is a great solution. It is against many religions that they can't pledge their allegiance to anything or anyone other than God. It's not out of disrespect but their belief system. |
