32. Just be glad that your son doesn't attend school in south Mississippi.
It wouldn't be the Pledge that concerned you, it would be the teachers making students pray aloud in the morning before class starts, and saying the "blessing" before lunch.

It's frustrations like yours and the one above that made me bring my son home, to be homeschooled. They claimed that they didn't target my son. I know for a fact that they did. It ended with physical abuse (I have photographic documentation), and, for my son's self-esteem, I just couldn't leave him in that situation any longer.

They have ways to punish kids who don't "fit in." Just keep your eyes open, and fight like hell (even hire a lawyer, if you must) to see that your son isn't mistreated. This kind of a battle can take its toll on him, and at some time, you may just have to toss out the white flag and bring him home, for HIS sake.
