[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a proud American in many respects, but saying the pledge in a daily school context doesn't make sense to me. If you're working for the US government, in the military, or becoming a citizen? Totally get it. But rattling it off before math class or a basketball game always feels weird. Plus: - My kids' school has a significant international population for whom the US pledge of allegiance literally doesn't apply. - I don't like invoking the divine outside my own religious observance. It just feels disrespectful. - I don't think you should take an oath, even a benign/positive one, without really knowing what it means ... and I had no clue what I was saying when I learned the pledge in the early '90s[/quote] All of this.
