[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our DCPS doesn't do either. We have many families from outside the US. [/quote] Receiving free, public education? And?[/quote] I do not know what you mean. I am one of those from outside the US and my kids go to DCPS. I live in DC, have a high paying job and pay a serious amount of federal and DC taxes. there are other foreigners at my kids' school, all in the same situation. if you look for freeloaders, look much closer to home[/quote] I'm not implying free-loading, touchy touchy. I am implying that when you avail yourself of free, public education in a host country there should be zero objection to a salute to the flag. Children may wish to sit it out, but the option to salute should be there for all children. Public schools are part of our civil society, and saluting the flags is a civic ritual.[/quote]
