In my high school, it said in the handbook that I did not have to stand for the pledge. But I assure you, at least once or twice every year I was there I got a speech. Either respectful or straight up, "YOU ARE DISRESPECTING THE SOLDIERS IN IRAQ FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM IN AMERICA" it always happened. To my knowledge, no one can MAKE you stand for the pledge.
