Re: Pledge of Allegiance
These things are generally considered to be constitutionally protected, but in schools the administrators get away with alot.
The US Supreme Court just granted certiorari to a case involving a high school student who had a banner that read "bong 4 jesus' or something similar, and was suspended as a result. That should finally answer these questions.
