From Wikipedia:

In 1940 the Supreme Court, in Minersville School District v. Gobitis, ruled that students in public schools could be compelled to swear the Pledge, even Jehovah's Witnesses like the defendants in that case who considered the flag salute to be idolatry. A rash of mob violence and intimidation against Jehovah's Witnesses followed the ruling. In 1943 the Supreme Court reversed its decision, ruling in West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette that "compulsory unification of opinion" violated the First Amendment.^[6]

From today's The Washington Post:

The mother of a 13-year-old Montgomery County middle school student is demanding an apology from a teacher who had school police escort the youngster from her classroom for refusing to say the Pledge of Allegiance.

Also:

The ACLU asked in a Feb. 5 letter that the teacher personally apologize to the student, promise to respect her rights in the future and discuss the incident with the class so it can become an educational opportunity.

No, wait. I know. I know. FIRE HER. States are just looking for excuses these days to RIF educators. Violating a ruling by the United States Supreme Court sounds like plenty of reason to me. By the way. The fella what actually penned the pledge? He was a SOCIALIST. Put that in your pipe and shove it up your ass, Glenn.
