Chelsea Stanton, a high school student in New Jersey, who has repeatedly been punished for refusing to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance, has finally won her battle, the Cherry Hill Courier Post reports.
Stanton, a senior and atheist at Collingswood High School, says she objects to the words "one nation under God," which appear in the pledge.
"I couldn't bring myself to recite it anymore, because I felt like it didn't respect me," Stanton told CBS Philly. "I don't think any student anywhere should have to stand up for this."
