We had a girl in HS who wouldn't stand for the Pledge one morning because she was hung over and when the teacher told her she had to, she claimed it was against her beliefs. Once she said that, she had to stick to it and each morning would remain sitting for the Pledge. This was back in 1987 in Randolph, MA. It was a really big story back then and made it into the newspapers and on tv.

	Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio
