Lawsuit: Michigan teacher tried to force Palestinian American student to stand for Pledge

[JT45242]

4. Compromise ruling...you are not pledging but are participating

I relocked up the case it was Jehovah witnesses.

You cannot force people to say it. But standing in unison with your class has generally been ruled ok.

There have been lots of cases like this raised over the last 50 years, sometimes just as a way to get the court to make rulings.

The details of this case might actually be more about bullying a minority student in general rather than the legal principles around the pledge of allegiance in school
