1A is still a thing, for now.


I guarantee she won’t get the attention she’s hoping for nobody will even notice.


Oh, but they will notice, and it’s fun how much that upsets you.


Believe me, I won’t notice. I’ve got waaaay better things to occupy my mind.


Nobody said “you” will notice. Others will. Cope harder.


I’m fine 🥰 sounds like you and your daughter need to figure out how to cope harder.


It’s not my daughter. I’m not that PP. Just another person laughing at your ancient rigidity.


You’re an idiot. My original post said the pp’s daughter isn’t going to get attention for taking a knee how’s that rigid or ancient? Nobody cares about these attention seeking behaviors from you people. And calling attention to it only encourages more stupidity. Ignoring is the only answer.

You do care. You’re in hysterics that people won’t just stand and face the flag and do what you want them to do. If you didn’t care, you wouldn’t keep replying. You’d have already moved on.

Cope.

It doesn't matter why. It is a first amendment issue and standing/not standing is symbolic speech.


It is a shame that good manners are no longer taught


The pledge has nothing to do with manners. I’m a teacher and don’t recite or stand. Nor do most of my students, many of whom are immigrants or the 1st generation children of immigrants who have no reason or obligation to pledge to this flag. It’s a freaking weird tradition that has no bearing on what we do in school.


As a child of am immigrant and naturalized citizen, it is abhorrent that you as a teacher take this attitude towards immigrant children and recent citizens.

1st generation immigrants shoukd know more than anyone how precious our freedoms and liberties are. Their parents are some of the most patriotic people around.

Shameful anti American snd anti immigrant attitude that you profess.


It’s not my attitude, it’s theirs! Their identity is STRONGLY rooted in their home country first and foremost. Many would answer their Central American country of origin if you asked their nationality, and their citizenship as an American second. They have tremendous pride in their home countries. So they don’t feel the same sense of guilt to pledge to our flag that kids born in America and have only an American identity are inculcated to do. There’s nothing wrong with that so I have no idea why you accuse me of being anti immigrant- I am PRO them having their own identity!


You are indoctrinating immigrant children whose parents brought them here because they believe in America, its freedoms, Constitution, ideals and opportunities to disdain and hate America while subverting their parents' beliefs and patriotism in this country.


Indoctrinating them by letting them choose whether or not to stand? Very strange approach.

It's shame parents don't teach their own children to be respectful and tolerant of others. Then teachers wouldn't sped half the day doing it.

There are lots of immigrants who come here for other reasons, such as jobs. I came here for my DH. Women have more freedom in my own country than they do in large parts of the US. And our elections are free and fair. And we don't have school shootings. And our social mobility is also greater than here. I do think your donuts are better than ours.

DP. You realize standing has nothing to do with God, right? Any God at all. It's to show respect to the flag and our country. Are you new here?
