I was a bit edgy in high school and had to write a 1-page paper to the principal to be allowed to sit after refusing to recite the pledge lol

My 4 paragraphs where about the separation of church and state, injustice, my own freedom to sit, and how cultish it felt.

My mother just went to them and told them if they tried to make me stand and do the pledge she'd sue their asses and showed them the laws that already were passed at the time. She was pissed the teacher thought mom would side with her because mom knew the law. (Mom was an educator and worked at the school so that's why the teacher, being a colleague, thought mom would agree with her)

But did it actually work? And did anyone else join in?

Yes to it working, no to joiners. The teacher didn't really care as long as I was respectful
