Some Delaware lawmakers want to drop a state law that demands public school students pledge allegiance to the American flag and punishes teachers with prison time if they don t enforce it.
Under law, teachers and principals who don t direct their students to pledge allegiance to the flag can be fined up to $50 or sent to prison for up to 10 days.
House Bill 107 by Rep. Paul Baumbach, D-Newark, would still require that students pledge allegiance to the American flag every school day. But instead of requiring all students to cite the pledge, the bill would let students who don t want to participate to stand silently or stay seated.
