[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wasn't born in this country and I am uncomfortable about the idea of my kids doing it[/quote] This is why many of us are frustrated. You want to come here and benefit from the economy and from the protection of your rights, but don't feel "allegiance"? This is a civic ritual, and if it "brainwashes" kids into valuing "liberty and justice for all", I'm good.[/quote] It is all right to feel "allegiance". It is another matter to ask people (including kids) to say those words out loud in public many times when it is not really necessary. I think it is not hard to understand. For example, do it when getting one's citizenship, is certainly ok. Asking kids to do it daily at school, is, on the other hand, is brainwashing - I understand brainwashing is part of life so it is ok too - just some of us do not realize it. [/quote]
