The statute specifically exempts students from reciting the pledge if they object.

Isn't that necessary? Seems to me there is a 1940s Supreme Court decision, still standing, that mandates this.

I know there was in the late 70s. Don't know what's happened since then.

Students who are thus exempt from reciting the Pledge shall remain quietly standing or sitting at their desks while others recite the Pledge and shall make no display that disrupts or distracts others who are reciting the Pledge.

Sure. And the other kids then take care of him at recess. What I really never liked about "under God" is that it breaks the rhythm of the pledge.
