Refusal to stand for the pledge of allegiance in a council meeting in 2 separate US states within the last couple of weeks caused controversy. The man from Winter Park Florida refused because it stated under God, whereas the man from Maine was upset because of the statement made about what it was being said for he felt the statement prior to the salute disqualified him from joining in. This is not legal for anyone to be forced to say the flag or salute the flag for many years. There is a video included.
