Quote:Texas school violates high court ruling by suspending teen who won’t stand for pledge

Quote:In 1943, the Supreme Court — in the case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette — ruled that persons may not be compelled to stand and observe the pledge, writing, “If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein.”

The school principal has not responded to requests for comment.


Odd for a state whose governor has endorsed secession.... again.
