[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why would the District require this? Another dumb policy.
Do they at least take out the words "under god"?[/quote]

A better question is, who are the idiot parents who "question" this?[/quote]

Me, for one. I'm an atheist and don't want my child to be encouraged to pledge to something "under god." That goes against my family's values.[/quote]

Well isn't that just too bad.

You might want to consider homeschooling.[/quote]

[b]So now we are required to be religious to attend public school? What happened to separation of church and state[/b]?[/quote]

Maybe instead of you homeschooling, the PP should consider moving to Russia.  They sound like they would make a great communist.[/quote]

1) Is reciting the Pledge mandatory?  Is there punishment for not reciting?  If the answers are no, then how is it required?  Do you or your children use American paper currency? Does inclusion of the phrase "in god we trust" mean you are required to to be religious to engage in commerce?

2) SCOTUS answered this question already.  You can find the answer to your question in that opinion.[/quote]

No-one said it was required...that PP was responding to the person that said her children belonged in  a homeschool if they didn't want to participate.  Which is preposterous.[/quote]

11:49 here.  I know.  Mainly rhetorical questions.[/quote]
