Sherman v. Community Consolidated School District 21
Description
"Patriotism is an effort by the state to promote its own survival, and along the way to teach those virtues that justify its survival. Public schools help to transmit those virtues and values. Separation of church from state does not imply separation of state from state."
Case summary: "The father of a minor son brought an action for damages against the school district and others and sought a declaration that a state statute that required the recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance was unconstitutional. The district court granted summary judgment in favor of the school district and others."
