159. "Mock" the pledge?
A teacher permits students to mock the pledge? I don't think that's protected, though not participating in the pledge is. Or do you mean that they are mocking it by not saying it?

As for requiring standing, as I have posted before, it's unconstitutional -- although lots of teachers and schools try to enforce this as their own "fair" solution to the "problem" of free expression.

Could you clarify whether you mean mocking or not participating?
