Court rules students may skip flag salute over religion
The U S circuit court of appeals unanimously held that school children may refuse to salute the flag if it conflicts with religious beliefs. Lillian Gobits and William Gobits, expelled from Minersville school, were allowed back by private schooling while court decisions affirmed free exercise of religion over mandatory salute. The ruling cites Washington and stresses treating conscientious scruples with delicacy.
