A Tyner Academy student apparently has the law on her side in a dispute over reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. The school suspended Quinesha Garrett for remaining silent during the daily Pledge. And that put her graduation in doubt. But her attorney argues that state laws says schools cannot force students to recite the pledge.. As long as they do not distract those who are. You can read the Tennessee Code he quotes here on the website. Garrett says she remained silent during the pledge to protest the war in Iraq. The school system has apparently lifted the suspension and will let her return to class.
