Students may possibly be required to stand but not required to recite the pledge. Standing is not the same as reciting. If I went to school in a foreign country I would stand in respect but not recite their pledge or sing their national anthem. It is so sad that so many American children are being taught to be disrespectful.

Possible. I do know that the 2008 Defense Authorization Act allows me, as a veteran, even if out of uniform, to render a hand salute.

It seems to me that the most basic obligation of citizenship of any nation is allegiance to it.

I stand, cross my heart for the pledge, but I was under the belief that requiring someone to do that goes against their freedom of speech rights.
Maybe someone w/ legal expertise can shed more light on this.

"...we are required to have students recite the U.S. pledge and the Texas pledge..." Being from California, I had no idea there was such a thing as a state pledge, until I stood to recite the U.S, pledge of allegiance at a state Republican convention in Texas.
Talk about being caught flat footed. Everyone in that room knew the Texas pledge but me.

If it is part of the Texas education code then it is the law in Texas public schools.
