[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida schools still do it in K-5. Private and public, we had kids in both, then moved here. I think that history books have been pretty scrubbed since my school days plus lots of revisionalism going on plus what kids read in the mass media. Knowing the pledge - or any U.S. history as is - is going the way of the dinosaurs. Plus many who live here were not born/raised here and don't care about baseball, March madness, hot dogs, U.S. history, etc. [/quote] All the better to keep the pledge then. Maybe some of it will sink in. It’s short and sweet with positive values that otherwise may not get taught. [/quote] Um. Well, it is short - though it used to be shorter. Maybe we should go back to that version? Would you be ok with that? Maybe we should also go back to holding an outstretched arm out toward the flag, instead of putting our hands over our hearts?
