[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was in HS we were required to stand for the Pledge of Allegiance. I guess I never really considered that in HS today kids don't need to stand and they don't need to recite it. Teachers can't enforce it and it is of course a right of freedom of expression. On 9/11 my child and 1 of 2 teachers took the time to stand and recite the pledge out of the 30ish people in the class. The one teacher that recited it said "really even on 9/11". What a change...[/quote] This is not North Korea. We do not do forced or performative patriotism here. "Freedom" applies to this, regardless of whether you agree. And that teacher should be ashamed of his/herself. Hopefully, they don't teach history or government. [/quote]
