Does your child legally have to say the pledge?

I assume you are referring to the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. The answer is no. It is federal law, under the First Amendment's free speech clause, that children may not be required to recite the Pledge. Children who don't want to do it, for whatever reason, can stand or sit respectfully while the others recite the Pledge. Schools are prohibited from forcing children to recite the pledge, and schools are prohibited from punishing those students for refusing to recite the pledge. However, any students who harass those who don't say the Pledge are subject to discipline or even expulsion.


Do you have to stand when the pledge to the American flag is done?

There is no law requiring you to do so. If you feel patriotic and wish to participate in the pledge, then stand, put your hand over your heart, and recite it. You can also stand respectfully and remain silent if you have any objection to the pledge (e.g. some people do for religious reasons, or for political reasons). Sitting while others stand and recite the pledge is your right, but people will undoubted be offended by this so be prepared to engage in a conversation with people about your decision.
