[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m just reading though this thread and feel genuinely worried that so many people here are advocating doing away with pledge of allegiance.  I’m in CA, and our kids say it every morning at school. Americans having always been deeply proud of their country, (yes, maybe too much, lol), but the answer isn’t to remove the pledge. Your child is allowed not to participate, and that is sufficient. [/quote]

+1. I'm an immigrant and a US citizen, moved here as a kid from a 3rd world country. I go back to my birth country from time to time and every time, I feel lucky to call this country my home. I think we should all feel a bit lucky to be here. Saying the pledge of allegiance for less than a minute a day during the school week isn't going to harm our kids. [/quote]

This. Plus the point of saying it daily isn’t to pledge daily.  It’s to learn it and to have it ingrained. What Awmrican above 7 cant say the pledge?

It’s worth carrying on.

And, while we learn the preamble or parts of the Gettysburg address 1-2x each, and while some of us can brush up and fully recite parts.... it’s not as deeply ingrained.

The daily practice is worth it. It’s as close as we can get to a unifying statement, and nothing else could do the same thing. [/quote]
