[quote=Anonymous]OP here. I hadn't thought about this issue as it relates to children who are multinational -- funny that I never thought of it, since my kids are half american, and half their dad's country of origin. They also own two passports. It does seem strange to do the pledge simply because it's something that's always been done. And kids reciting it as early as preschool, before they understand or know what it means...creepy, as others have said. Now I am leaning toward casually asking my DC's new teacher about why they say the pledge, and whether they've ever considered removing that part of the morning routine. However, I am afraid of being labeled "that mom."[/quote]
