so in the past we've had a a couple stories about just helpless as a student
at princeton high school and work that she was involved in uh... of pretty
important supreme court has to get a fair bit of taking down for a school we
we've got a related down case actually of chelsea stand she is eightieth
student personal student in new jersey
and she'd been getting repeated the question of the course of the school
year because she refused to stand
uh... during the pledge of allegiance and we've got a short video of this up
north talk about all that
ike
bring myself to excited anymore and because i felt like
internet respects me the nineteen-year-old former student of the
month isn't eight years
she has a problem with the words one nation under god
so every morning she sits silently as fellow students to stand and say the
pledge of allegiance and i think i will say that
anyway
said half years band that fedex it's about people we talked you don't agree
with on a personal level
you'd like to think that they have respect
and stand anyway i would say issue said have to say the pledge of allegiance
stated intention faced possible disciplinary action at school
one eighty two began to take issue with what she was doing
she says she was referred to the student code of conduct which citing state
statutes saying students can keep silent but are required to show proper respect
to the flag by standing during the pledge stanton fought back
according to the jurors who are revision commission in nineteen seventy eight
that provision requiring students to stand was held unconstitutional by the
united states court of appeals but the state statute has never been revised to
reflect the ruling
they actually rulings like
tabloid and thirty years will get to the national they say later on this news
piece and daschle principal under their they're not forcing about her anymore
thankfully because of this other principal says outward we'll look into
revising
in the studio chicago revise it definitely yet don't you have to
yet and surprised they haven't but
uh... like this was a lot more sideshows constitution on his side everything's
gonna be ok she does not stand she is not to say
uh... was really
weird to me is how this country was founded on religious freedom
and at the same time there's such a promotion of christianity in out
elements of government cell the pledge of allegiance is one example our money
our currency says in god we trust it rest so
anthracis inner thoughts are not like act i'm totally supportive of her
decision right
but like this you start using money
because it says in god we trust that she might use credit yeah and that's that's
not that's a good option a has a separate cartagena
anything all historically
when they say freemen privilege and it was kind of more like freedom for their
own version of christianity say right now they were thinking of eight the
answer
any other than religious group at the time but you know the wording because of
apply that way i think the people who are outrage in the video
were confusing nationalistic standards with or patriotism with um...
religion lives and yeah i agree i think when they were interviewed they were
totally confused about it because
i look i think date
you should be able to recent stand and recite the pledge of allegiance is
getting out it hits the pledge of allegiance right
but
i don't understand her objection to it and i understand that
one part of the pledge of allegiance that
bothers her subcommittees meet the issues uncomfortable with it she has a
constitutional right to say
and not recited yet or recited take out that part
that one purchase problem with that was added later on after the pledges are to
be around for a long time
uh... which people in in favor of that proposed like to big nor uh... out also
probably people were outraged by it uh... you said they should she should
sell recited as patriotic she showed
yet if she's feeling contraction should have the option should be forced to pay
with said it's not exactly and what that one girl said she should
have to
no instinctively unless you have to recite this super high schools and what
does it wouldn't hurt his leg in saudi arabia we heard since are being forced
recite somethingartsy russia they were forthwith instinctively state now why
don't care what the word citation after site that i don't think she knows that
the ramifications of that are so they are about is sellout
yet but there were a painfully in any event she uh... she does have to do it
anymore
uh... and it with this in the discount with thing i i'd like to
but they may say optimistic actually about the future that although we have
these are the policies it seemed antiquated and a little bit weird and
un-american in my opinion that we are making progress i think we are making
progress and curious to see how what the updates of the story will be because i
did
it's anything like this story and jessica outweighs she will be uh...
completely morass and
you know threatened with answer she was an accident but
yeah although just a person of doing pretty well
the forty thousand dollars go to school she's getting some
uh... humanist pioneer awards this year landing or that which i think jack went
to actually the
american human to human association
the maybe matter amenable to seven
of a way that makes me
optimistic
dot that's how i feel about nikki rights movement in the country share their
pockets in this country where people are so hateful mobile phones but
we're seeing attitudes change toward homosexuality and i love that it makes
you optimistic it makes you realize that we do progresses
