Just a few days after my rant about the Pledge of Allegiance, PZ Myers has reported on Pharyngula that three Minnesota students have been suspended for refusing to stand for the Pledge. It’s not clear what their reasons were, so there’s not much more comment I can make at the moment. What’s curious about the case is that the controversy is not over refusal to say the Pledge; non-recital is recognized as a right in most states. No, they’ve been punished because they didn’t want to stand during the Pledge.
We technically can’t punish you for not swearing your daily oath of fealty, but we’ll get you for not at least looking like you’re taking part.
