Girl allegedly punished for sitting during the Pledge of Allegiance
• http://www.rawstory.com, By Eric W. DolanThe announcement came hours after the ACLU sued the western Pennsylvania school district on behalf of a middle school student. The unnamed 13-year-old girl was allegedly scolded and given a detention for refusing to stand and recite the pledge.
Brownsville Area School District solicitor James Davis said the student had the right to sit silently during the pledge. He is working to resolve the case.
