Kyle King's act of protest against the Iraq war was silent.
When other students stood up to salute the flag during Monroe High School's fifth-period music class, King remained quietly in his seat.
The high school senior had declined to participate in the Pledge of Allegiance for about two years before his quiet demonstration got him into hot water with a teacher who insisted that King was bound by law to rise and recite the pledge with the rest of the class.
The teacher was mistaken.
