Question

Initially, the court ____________ the requirement for students to recite the pledge of allegiance, even if it violated a student's faith.

Answer 1

The word that completes the sentence is "upheld" meaning to support or to confirm. 

On the off chance that a student will be made to state a promise, it can be untrustworthy to make them say 'under God' on this premise. So - the fundamental reason that the vow of devotion is said of schools is to impart a feeling of patriotism among understudies.
