Arizona bill would require students say Pledge of Allegiance
So, if you bring a note from your parents, you'll be excused from having to recite the Pledge.
When I was in school, we were required to stand, but we didn't have to put our hands over our hearts or recite the Pledge.
I'd like to know what the penalty is for breaking this law. If a kid refuses to recite the pledge, will he/she go to jail?
