[quote=Anonymous]The older I get, the weirder I find it that we make kids recite the pledge of allegiance. They don’t even understand it. I always chose to stand for the pledge, mainly out of respect for those who have served and fought for freedom (vs. out of allegiance to our country). But I appreciated my teacher at the time engaging the class in debate on this topic and letting students share their own opinions. Ultimately while different kids chose to stand vs. sit, all agreed that we preferred to live in the kind of country where not standing up for the pledge is considered ok.[/quote]
