Students in a social studies class are studying the history of the u. s. flag and the pledge of allegiance. one student comments, "my father said that the school can't make me say the pledge of allegiance if i don't want to." the student's parent is:
correct, because the student is protected under the 1964 civil rights act
correct, based on a supreme court decision that states no student can be compelled to salute the flag
incorrect, because the student would be disrupting the educational process
incorrect, because the school may require all students to say the pledge

Correct, based on a Supreme Court decision that states no student can be compelled to salute the flag

Explanation:

This was a landmark decision made by the Supreme Court of United States of America in the case of West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette 319 U.S. 624 given on 1943.

               In this important decision, the Supreme Court of United States of America made the judgement that no school or college students will be forced to say the Pledge of Allegiance or forced to salute the US flag.

                This important landmark judgement was made by Justice Robert H. Jackson.

Thus the correct answer is 'Correct, based on a Supreme Court decision that states no student can be compelled to salute the flag.'
