[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]

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

The exact question I ask myself when I hear whiny parents complain that public school events take place on obscure Jewish holidays.[/quote]

Which of these obscure holidays do you hear whiny parents complaining about?  Rosh Hashanah?  Yom Kippur?  Other High Holy Days?  The Jews we know who send their kids to public school understand that Christians decided many years ago that their religious holidays are the only ones important enough to observe.  So what can they do about this?  Don't send their kids to school on all those obscure holidays.  No big deal.  It's an excused absence.  #TrollFail
