The Pledge of Allegiance in the Public Schools on the 200th Anniversary of the Bill of Rights.

Bartlett, Larry; Frost, Lynda

West's Education Law Reporter, v67 n3 p867-80 Jul 18 1991

Court rulings from Arizona to New York have indicated that pledge of allegiance ceremonies may be included in a public school's curriculum as part of a local or state goal to instill patriotism and citizenship lessons. Students and teachers cannot be forced to participate if participation violates their personal religious or philosophical convictions. (67 notes) (MLH)
