Texas won't force students to stand for Pledge
Sweeny won't force students to stand for Pledge

SWEENY — Students in Sweeny ISD no longer will be required to stand during the Pledge of Allegiance, a change school district administrators said legally had to be made.
The announcement on Thursday complies with the deadline of the American Civil Liberties Union of Texas to amend a requirement it said is unconstitutional.
In a letter to the district last week, the ACLU stated courts repeatedly had determined requiring students to stand for the Pledge infringed on their rights.
The ACLU of Texas sent a letter to Sweeny ISD on April 14 in response to complaints that students had been disciplined for not standing during the Pledge, KTRK-Channel 13 reported on Friday.
