[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So, you don't want kids to be respectful in school?  Okay.  I now understand.  Glad your kid was not in my class.  I taught a child who was a Jehovah's Witness.  He stood when we said the pledge.  He had the option of leaving the room.  His mom was cool with this.  And, this was First Grade.

The rest of the kids gladly stood.  And, when we studied the flag, we learned patriotic songs and waved small American flags.  The kids loved it. [/quote]

PP, one more time -- different people have different beliefs, opinions, and ideas. And the freedom to express those beliefs, opinions, and ideas free from government control is right there in the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. That's one of the things that makes me proud of my country.

But if you're determined to be offended by people who choose not to stand for the pledge of allegiance [i]for reasons that have nothing to do with lack of respect for you, society, or America[/i], I can't stop you.[/quote]
