10) Use the bathroom between class periods.  During class, bathroom passes are given during the last ten minutes of class.

11) First and second periods: Please stand for the Pledge of Allegiance.  If you have religious objections then that is acceptable as you are exercising your right of conscience which is protected by Georgia's Bill of Rights: "Freedom of conscience. Each person has the natural and inalienable right to worship God, each according to the dictates of that person’s own conscience; and no human authority should, in any case, control or interfere with such right of conscience."

This is not a demand I am making a request.
