James Green Seated Quotations

The law has been clear for more than 60 years that a student may remain quietly seated during a flag salute to express their beliefs.

The courts have ruled time and time again that students in public schools have the First Amendment right to remain quietly seated during the Pledge of Allegiance. Cameron is a very patriotic student, but his is a quiet form of patriotism. In a very polite and respectful way, he declined to stand for the pledge and the teacher berated him in front of his classmates.
