If this kid or any other doesnt want to say the pledge, then I think that is their right to not do so. I do agree with others that by choosing not to for whatever reason they wish, doesnt give a student the right to be disrespectful to the teacher or disruptive to the class. I too agree this shananigan shouldnt have gone on for four days nor do I think it really newsworthy to the national media.
I myself for whatever reason I cant remember, stopped saying the pledge in school about the 10th grade. I stood, but said nothing and really didnt think too much of it either until 9/11. This incident made me rethink quite a few things. I now proudly say the Pledge of Allegiance and sing the national anthem with pride.
