[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is no requirement to say the pledge or even support this country to remain a full and protected citizen. We are not required to participate (vote) in the governing of it either. The opinions of ignorant people who think that their notion of what others should do SO FAR does not supersede what the constitution protects from being imposed on others. I say the pledge when I am somewhere it is said but because I love my country and the freedoms allowed I do not judge individual choice or feel that the flag wearing, hand on heart, proudly allegiance maker is more a part of this country than my fellow citizens who no neither or even go so far as to turn away from the flag (or 'take a knee'): we are a great country because all of this[/quote]

You don't have to like kids.  Heck, you can really, really dislike kids.  But that would probably make teaching out of the question for you.

If your goal is to help educate our future U.S. citizens I would hope that you at least like our country and that you aren't secretly hoping that Switzerland kicks our school children's academic azz.[/quote]

But their job is math and reading, not political indoctrination.  You are really delusional. [/quote]

The bottom line is that a teacher vested in the well being of America is going to put more effort into teaching young American children than a English citizen vested in the well being of England.  I suppose you will need a multi million dollar study to prove that though  :roll: .[/quote]

PP, you seem to be carefully avoiding the constitutional issues involved.  Does the Constitution not matter to you? [/quote]

The Constitution applies to U.S. citizens.  Of course it matters.[/quote]
