[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DS 8, knows the National Anthem.  He looked at me like I had three heads when I asked if he knew what the Pledge of Allegiance was.

I’m old so we used to say it every morning in school.  I knew it stopped at some point but I’m not sure when.  Do any of you know when schools, in general stopped it as a practice?[/quote]

That's weird. At my kids' public school, students recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. We are in suburban New England.[/quote]

The pledge of allegiance is in and out depending on lawsuit status. The Pledge is voluntary in the class starting in the 1950s when the courts ruled that students are not required to recite the words or stand.

I don’t remember the pledge of allegiance in high school in the 1980s Massachusetts.  Probably because my homeroom teacher never showed up for homeroom and left attendance taking to a student.  A bunch of heathens in the class anyway, maybe they gave up because nobody stood.  [/quote]
