[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I remember being in elementary school and thinking FOR MYSELF that the "under God" bit was bizarre and wasn't really thrilled about saying it How do we know that elementary schoolers haven't made these observations for themselves?[/quote] +1 I thought it was weird. I stood, but did not put my hand over my heart, and did not recite, especially the "under god" part. People tend to get caught up in the symbol (ie, the flag, the pledge, etc) instead of actual behavior and actions about what it means to be patriotic - and respecting freedom of speech is part of that. I don't think kneeling/sitting is disruptive at all - shouting and banging would be disruptive. Maybe it'll invite discussion later, which is a GOOD thing. [/quote]
