One elementary school is no longer requiring students and staff to recite the Pledge of Allegiance after pressure from a free speech group.

One Maryland public school was coerced into no longer requiring students and staff to recite the Pledge of Allegiance after a free speech group pushed back against what it called 'mandatory patriotism.' Twin Ridge Elementary School officials in Mount Airy reversed course on mandating the pledge after clarification was needed on the school's policy for the salute. Back in April, the school emailed all staff clarifying that the Pledge of Allegiance was mandatory.

Maryland mother Kathleen Champion joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss why she was 'not surprised' the school reversed course and the broader issue at hand stemming from patriotism and respect for the American flag.
