A South Carolina 9th grader's parents filed a federal lawsuit after their daughter was allegedly accosted for not stopping to say the Pledge of Allegiance when she was walking to class.
Marissa Barnwell, a River Bluff High School student, her parents and their lawyer, Tyler Bailey, hold a news conference in Columbia, S.C., on Thursday, March 9, 2023, regarding a lawsuit filed against Lexington School District One. Marissa said she was walking quietly to class and decided not to stop for the pledge or a moment of silence that followed. A teacher yelled at her, confronted her and pushed her against a wall.
"I was completely and utterly disrespected," Barnwell said, according to The State newspaper."No one has apologized, no one has acknowledged my hurt. ... The fact that the school is defending that kind of behavior is unimaginable." Tyler Bailey, the family's attorney, said that students should be able to exercise their constitutional rights.
