[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do pay taxes but have no allegiance to the USA but frankly I don't care about whether or not our kids are reciting that pledge in school. Though I'd like for someone to calculate the economic costs of saying this pledge each morning (discounted sum (#min foregone education * loss of earnings))... and I do take some solace in knowing that DCPS discussions are now down to the acceptability of bake-sales, prior review of student newspapers, and the pledge of allegiance. We've come a long way! For example, could you imagine that, not all that long ago, my kids started in DCPS dodging teachers throwing stuff across the room and had to say lunchtime prayers? By all means, I will not mind the Pledge of Allegiance. [/quote] YES! the lunchtime prayers! when I tell people about this, they do not believe it. Less than 10 years ago at Brent. [/quote]
