Civil Liberties

This is their right, and I tell them that.

But when they start joking around during the Pledge that's where I draw the line. I tell them they have the right to sit -- that I spent nearly 20 years in the military to give to protect and defend the Constitution that gives them that right -- but I insist that they not disrespect those who choose to say the Pledge by acting like idiots while it's being said. That's not about making a political statement, it's just plain rude to your fellow students.

I haven't heard anything from the school district yet.
