Buffy the Vampire Slayer star Kristy Swanson has blasted a teacher at her son's school who she claims does not stand for the Pledge of Allegiance and told students they could skip it too.

The actress, 49, was responding to a a tweet from right-wing commentator Charlie Kirk who said that 'schools are rapidly being taken over by radical leftists' and advised parents to homeschool their children.

He added: 'We can't trust our schools to do the job anymore.'

And Kristy, who has a 12-year-old son Magnus with husband and former figure skater Lloyd Eisler, agreed, tweeting: 'True. I just learned the other day from a friend of my son that there is a teacher at their school that will not stand for the pledge of allegiance every morning.'

She added the mind blown emoji, writing: 'He also said, she told the kids in that home room class, they don't have to stand either if they don't want too.'

Kristy did not name the school or teacher in question and DailyMail.com has contacted the actress for further comment.

The star made headlines in May after signing up to play fired FBI lovers Lisa Page and Peter Strzok in a pro-Trump dramatic reading of their notorious texts called 'FBI Lovebirds: UnderCovers'.

The news prompted Swanson to claim she was subject to a death threat for backing the president.

In her latest tweets Swanson, who starred in the 1992 film Buffy the Vampire Slayer, called one critic 'snippy' after he argued not standing for the Pledge of Allegiance was freedom of speech.

It is not illegal to decline to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and one Twitter user wrote: 'It's called Freedom of Speech @KristySwansonXO and has been happening for decades.

'Take the time to read more refined historic documents, instead of those from #FakePOTUS #ToiletTweets, then maybe you will be enlightened enough to provide slightly more intelligent tweets.'

But Swanson replied: 'There is no need for you to be snippy with me. All I did was tell a story of what's happening at my sons school.

'No matter what country I am in, I personally stand for their anthem & show respect. I expect a teacher in our public school to be a good example & show respect.'

Another critic said: ' Why does @KristySwansonXO feel she can dictate whether a teacher sits or stands during the pledge? Christians first force the belief in a god into the pledge, then they try to force ppl who don't believe in a god to stand and say it ...then they get mad when ppl refuse! FU!'

Kristy replied: 'Well if that's how you really feel, then why would you put money in the bank that says 'In God We Trust' on it? Must be tough to function in life when you have to boycott all ATM machines.'
