[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All 500+ of us said it for 13 years in my nova public HS/MS/elem graduating class. We turned out fine. Most of us are very liberal to boot!

I don’t get the complaint. It takes 1 minute, and you don’t have to mean it, and you don’t even have to participate. And it shows a tiny appreciation for what we have. [/quote]

I agree.  And, I'm the kid of immigrants, FWIW.

However, this is Montgomery County.  I'm pretty sure if you're bothered by the pledge, you could get some other parents together and ban it in MCPS.  I would bet that would be a successful campaign actually.  MCPS might even spend some money, form a committee, get some 'feedback' from parents, and have an independent agency run a report.

It's crazy, because parents don't seem willing to band together to get MCPS to take action against the ridiculous number of sexual predators in school, or to get a solid curriculum implemented in ES.  However, a cause like this would very likely get lots of support.  I'm not from this area, and this is such an interesting county, IMO.  [/quote]

Now wait a minute. Don’t forget about the consultants! MCPS would have to hire consultants! [/quote]
