LOL. Brilliant FredH :-)

The Supremes do occasionally (and eventually) get it right:

"In 1943 the Supreme Court reversed its previous decision,
ruling in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette
that public school students are not required to say the Pledge,
concluding that "compulsory unification of opinion" violates the
First Amendment.
In a later opinion, the Court held that students are also not
required to stand for the Pledge."

- quoted from Wikipedia

Although trying to explain the law to my children's recalcitrant teachers fifty years later was nothing less than exhausting.

(Sorry, seriously off topic again)
