It's probably unconstitutional to require students to "salute" (in whatever sense) the American flag in the first place, and even if it's not, a coerced display of respect really isn't a display of respect at all.

So, in short, yes. Part of the much vaunted freedom that the flag stands for is the freedom to choose not to respect it. And if another student takes note of who chooses not to respect the flag, and bases their vote for class president or whatever on that... well, remember that "it's a free country" means precisely that.

This is my thought son the question.
