"God Bless America" in a public school

15. I would suggest

that if she wants to take action, she gets someone else to do it for her, if she values her job. Is it just at her school, or at every school in the district? Is it a school site/admin decision, or a school board policy?

Does it reflect the culture of the community? The make-up of the school board would probably determine their point of view and action, unless you want to bring a lawyer in. A conservative christian community will generally elect a conservative christian school board. Church and state violations will be allowed until a court says differently.

On the other hand, a more moderate school board might put a stop to it.

As for the pledge, I've never known a public school that DIDN'T have to endure the pledge every morning. In my experience, it's not "place your hands over your hearts and recite the Pledge of Allegiance," it's "if you are not going to recite, stand quietly while everyone else does.

Which is what I do every morning, and I'm the teacher.
