Mari Oliver claimed in a federal lawsuit that she was harassed for opting out of reciting the pledge as a high school student.

After the pledge assignment, Mr. Arnold told the class that students who failed to complete it would receive a zero grade, and then said people who sat during the pledge were comparable to “Soviet communists, members of the Islamic faith seeking to impose Shariah law, and those who condone pedophilia,” according to the lawsuit.

"Beginning in 2014, as a freshman in high school, there were myriad consequences for Ms. Oliver’s opting out of the pledge. Teachers singled her out during the pledge, sent her to the principal’s office, admonished her after class, and confiscated her phone, according to the lawsuit. Despite Ms. Oliver and her mother voicing concerns to school officials, the pushback from teachers continued and intensified, they said."

The under god part was religion



So I refused to say that line while doing the pledge


I loved the possibility of my nation


I loved pledging to that


I wanted her promise of a more perfect union



I still want that promise

Ha ha ha ... I doubt that. No one ever 'Prayed' in any school I went to unless it was on their own. You must have been brought up down South or in the MidWest. Bible Belt country.
