Standing up for respect

Re “Youth Sues for Right Not to Stand, Recite Pledge,” Dec. 23
So a 17-year-old boy refuses to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. Does he know that standing is a sign of respect? He can refuse to say the pledge, but he should show respect.
When this case goes to court, will he refuse to stand when the judge enters the courtroom? Or will his attorney tell him to stand in respect? We all must show respect for others, and sometimes this means standing.
