Today I used my right not to stand for the pledge of Allegiance in class. My history teacher got a bit mad, and was like “People died so you can have all these freedoms, and gave you the right to do that." and I responded by “That’s right and I’m asserting that right." and he goes “Not in this class."
So my question is, can a teacher’s classroom guidelines outweigh said rights? Just curious.
It depends, how much do you want to sit down. It would be easier to just stand... Just go along with it, my experience, adults don’t treat students (under 18) with the same rights as another adult, and it would be very hard for you to be taken seriously.
Of course you could make very good arguments about your freedoms, and how you don’t agree with the pledge of allegiance. But ultimately it will probably fall on deaf ears.

Actually, the bill of rights doesn’t apply if you are under the 'legal age' (18). So realistically, as a child you aren’t protected by those rights. In fact, an entire secondary bill of rights was written up called the “children’s bill of rights”.
