Hello All,
In Texas, the patriotism runs as deep as the religion and the Republicans (except Austin). A Harris, TX school district forces it's children to stand for the pledge. Ironic, I thought this was settled when Jehovah's Witnesses sued to permit the children of their members to sit during the pledge, but then again Texas has its head in a hole or a hole in its head. A 17-year old student remained standing, an action she partook in, per her words, "'around 200 times in class'" a district spokesperson stated that standing for the pledge was required by Texas law, however a note can excuse a citizen, while Texas Education Code Section 25-802 says this, it neglects the SUPREME COURT"S ruling in the 1943 case West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette, where Jehovah's Witnesses, in their only intelligent act, sued to protect their right which was protected under the establishment clause, however per Find Law the law also violated the due process clause of the fourteenth amendment, and the freedom of speech and religion clauses of the First Amendment. The Texas law violates the due process of the 14th and the freedom of speech of the 1st yet again, let's just get this inane law off the books.
