A New Jersey middle-school teacher has been assigned duties specifically to avoid being present during morning announcements after complaints were made about her regularly kneeling during the Pledge of Allegiance.

The decision was painted by authorities as a compromise to avoid a clash of rights, according to the Vineland Daily Journal.
