On the pledge issue, I was actually given detention by my 10th grade science teacher for ever day I did not stand for the pledge. she called my parents to tell the I wasn’t standing and eventually I was transferred out of the class. It was the only honors level science class that met first period, blah blah blah. Messed up my whole schedule, and I had to drop classes I really wanted. Public school teachers can be like petty dictators, and not well versed in constitutional rights. This was like 10 years before 9/11 and I’m white. I can only imagine your scenarios.
