California High School Students Get Points Docked for not Standing during Pledge

A teacher at Lower Lake High School in California was docking points from students who were sitting during the Pledge of Allegiance. One student, Leilani Thomas, is a Native American. She was told she was being disrespectful after she told the teacher she found what the Pledge of Allegiance stood for not right. The school district, once they were informed of the situation, were in full support of Thomas, and wanted to protect her First Amendment Rights. They allowed her, along with other students who were receiving similar treatment from the teacher, to move classes.
