Consider that there has been an issue in your local public high school. Recently, some students have refused to stand and recite the Pledge of Allegiance. They claim that it is a First Amendment issue and that the school cannot force them. The school, however, believes that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance is a part of the school day and that the students’ behavior is simply insubordination.

You are a police officer in the town, and the police chief knows you are taking a course on Constitutional law. He asks you to create a document that he can share with the school that outlines the following:

• a description of the First Amendment,
• the laws surrounding the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools,
• at least one recent incident surrounding the Pledge of Allegiance and its outcome, and
• a conclusion with a recommendation to the school on how to handle the students.

Your essay must be a minimum of two pages in length. You must use a minimum of two outside sources. Adhere to APA Style when creating citations and references for this assignment. APA formatting, however, is not necessary.

I have no special instruction on this assignment except to consider the school is in the US and not a foreign country, the assignment is self-explanatory.
