A school in eastern Michigan has placed a teacher on leave and launched an investigation after she allegedly “snatched” an 11-year-old student who sat during the Pledge of Allegiance. He said his homeroom teacher forced him to get up after he refused to stand for the pledge. “We want people to know people have rights,” Chaney told the Detroit Free Press. In 1943, the Supreme Court ruled that it is unconstitutional to force people to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance. “When you put your hands on kids and force your own way of thinking, that’s not right,” told the Washington Post.
