pauammaA teacher shall not, while in a classroom with any student in kindergarten through grade twelve, speak about the pledge of allegiance in any manner in which the student or students in the classroom may reasonably understand the teacher’s speech to be any of the following:
a. An unpatriotic commentary on the United States.
b. An attempt to politically influence the student or students.
Kindergarten. Teenagers. May reasonably understand. Unpatriotic commentary. Attempt to politically influence.
I pity the first judge having to decide whether conflating patriotism and jingoism gets the teacher QI protection. For one thing, does the answer differ between an English or language arts teacher, a social studies teacher, a math teacher, and a PE teacher?
