Teacher lowers grade for Native American students who sat during Pledge of Allegiance

Leilani Thomas's protest of the Pledge of Allegiance may be generating attention in light of similar recent protests by athletes around the United States, but the high school student has reportedly sat down for the pledge since she was in second grade.

Thomas and another Native American student are making headlines after their teacher at Lower Lake High School in California decided to lower their participation grade for not reciting the pledge.
