West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette

319 U.S. 624 (1943)
❌ What People Think
Schools can require students to stand, salute the flag, and recite the Pledge of Allegiance.
✅ What The Court Actually Ruled
The government cannot compel students to salute the flag or recite the Pledge. Doing so violates the First Amendment.
"If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein."
— Justice Robert H. Jackson, writing for the majority

💡 In Plain English

During WWII, West Virginia required all students to salute the flag and recite the Pledge. Jehovah's Witness families objected on religious grounds — their faith forbids pledging allegiance to any symbol. When their children were expelled and parents threatened with prosecution, they sued.

The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that compelled speech violates the First Amendment. The government cannot force you to express beliefs you don't hold. This wasn't just about religion — it established that the Constitution protects everyone's right to remain silent on matters of conscience.

Bottom line: No teacher, principal, or law can force you to say the Pledge. Period. This has been settled law since 1943.
