Pitzen explained that she removed the American flag from her classroom during the pandemic because 'it made me uncomfortable.' 'Except for the fact that my room does not have a flag.' 'So, my class decided to stand but not say the words. 'I always tell my class, 'Stand if you feel like it, don't stand if you feel like it, say the words if you want, don't have to say the words.''
'OK, so during third period, we have announcements and they do the Pledge of Allegiance,' Pitzen says in the video. The video went viral and has been viewed over 1.6 million times, and the tweet has nearly 6,000 Likes. Pitzen recently deleted her TikTok account, but it was too late, as the Twitter account saved the controversial video and posted it online.
