The parents of a South Carolina high school student are suing a teacher, principal, and other education officials saying she was accosted when she didn't stop and recite the Pledge of Allegiance
COLUMBIA, S.C. — — The parents of a ninth grade South Carolina student who said she was accosted by a teacher for quietly walking to class instead of stopping and reciting the Pledge of Allegiance are suing the teacher, principal, school district and state education officials.
"I was completely and utterly disrespected," Barnwell, 15, said at a news conference Thursday, according to."No one has apologized, no one has acknowledged my hurt. ... The fact that the school is defending that kind of behavior is unimaginable." But that law also prohibits punishing anyone who refuses to recite the pledge as long as they are not disruptive or infringe on others.
Lexington School District 1 didn't respond to an email seeking comment on the lawsuit. River Bluff High School's website indicates the teacher and principal are still working at the school.
