[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why wouldn't they stand? I stand for other country's pledges and national anthems.[/quote]

It doesn't matter why. It is a first amendment issue and standing/not standing is symbolic speech. [/quote]

It is a shame that good manners are no longer taught[/quote]

The pledge has nothing to do with manners. I’m a teacher and don’t recite or stand. Nor do most of my students, many of whom are immigrants or the 1st generation children of immigrants who have no reason or obligation to pledge to this flag. It’s a freaking weird tradition that has no bearing on what we do in school.  [/quote]

This. Given what is going on in the country it feels more like being a part of the fascist Christian minority who are ruining this country with their ignorance and hate. [/quote]

Agree.  It's weird.  Something you see in China or North Korea.   How soon before kids are being made to pledge allegiance to great leader Trump or DeSantis?[/quote]
