Have the kids pick which they want to do. Stand for the pledge or run 10 laps.

See this is one of the missing pillars of a brotherly society. Civics are no longer taught, love of country, God, or neighbor! this is wrong on so many levels. the Communists have infiltrated the public school system our government our universty institutions and they have money and they scream the loudest. The sickness needs to be stopped. This evil marxist idealogy needs to be out shouted, eradicated at the ballit box and removed from our society! it does not work in a republic to have such seditious Behavior. I get the 1st amendment part of this argument....But Allot of Kids these days are raised in poor fatherless imoral destructive environments fully funded by the Corrupted facet of our United States government that in itself is child abuse.

This is the root cause of the school closings no love of country or creator. The school systems are just liberal indoctrination centers.

This is assault. Go read the article. Undeniable.

It doesn't matter if you don't like it. Our rights are not up for negotiation, or changeable for your comfort.

As detestable as it may seem, no one can be compelled to say any pledge. Period.

It is not the School systems job to teach about love of anything, not of country and definitely any sort of deity.

Their job is to educate... hopefully about our rights.

Teaching love of country makes no sense. Teaching love of freedom and liberty does though.. .and if a country protects freedom and liberty by proxy we should cautiously keep an eye on it to be sure it never tries to take our freedom or liberty in any way.

Either way... this teacher is guilty of assault.

And they wonder why kids go and shoot up their schools.
In my day, you get beat by the teacher, beat by the principal, and when I got home, dad beat me. You bet next time the teacher told me what to do, I did it. Kids today have no respect!
