Should children be forced to stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance?

No, no one should be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance should someone stand when others are saying the Pledge, I think they should out of respect but should not be forced to do so.

When I was in the second grade back in the 50’s we had a classmate who did not say the Pledge of Allegiance on religious grounds, she did stand to show respect and at the start of the school year our teacher made a brief statement that because we celebrated religious freedom in the United States some religions did not believe in the pledges of allegiance.
I do believe that if my classmate had chosen not to stand that no one would have complained.
