When I was a kid, I would always leave off the “indivisible”, as I did not think it was accurate. I doubt anyone ever noticed.
Whose flag should the kids be saluting? The ISIS flag? The Mexican flag? The Cuban flag? Or should they be taught to be ashamed of their country? Odungo strikes again! And SHAME on the school admin primates for going along with this, slavering to please their political masters.
It's gone into the crapper.
“Funny Thing,” The Leon County Schools website is “down.” You folks in Leon County, FL need to vote this a$$hole out of office. ( But I’m betting you won’t)
Did I miss it? is the uncle his niece’s guardian?
Did they also bring home one to be excused from transgender indoctrination? I did not think so. (Guessing at your answer here.)
Jehovah's witnesses pushed this issue on biblical grounds in the 1960's. In their interpretation of scripture, Christ forbids the taking of oaths, which they claim The Pledge to be. Several kids sat down through the pledge in my grade school as far back as 1961.
While Snopes was busy covering for their god not “banning the Pledge of Allegiance”....
They’ve also done their usual of changing a few words in what’s actually happening to “debunk” this one for the feeble-minded:

Remember, Oturdturd said he was a uniter.
Does the school pass out the same note for the kids to be excused from mandatory diversity training? Or deviant sex education class? Or “Gay is OK” class? Or participating in community organizer activities? Or being forced to watch Al Gore’s Global Warming BS movies?
I’ve read that a couple of times and still don’t understand what he’s upset about. If he wants her to say the pledge, just don’t sign and return the waiver.
Many Americans don’t realize what’s going on until it’s right in front of their faces. Trump needs to reach these low information voters. He did have the appropriate response though.
libtards want a one world secular humanist government with no sovereign nations and no borders.
Muslim immigrants relocating to America must not pledge allegiance to our flag. They are submitted only to Allah. This is what Trump is talking about.

To the contrary:
“The case against the Matawan-Aberdeen Regional School District had been brought by a student of the district and the American Humanist Association that argued that the phrase “under God” in the pledge created a climate of discrimination because it promoted religion, making non-believers “second-class citizens.”
“In a twenty-one page decision, Bauman wrote, “Under (the association members’) reasoning, the very constitution under which (the members) seek redress for perceived atheistic marginalization could itself be deem unconstitutional, an absurd proposition which (association members) do not and cannot advance here.”
“Bauman said the student could skip the pledge, but upheld a New Jersey law that says pupils must recite the pledge unless they have “conscientious scruples” that do not allow it. He noted; “As a matter of historical tradition, the words ‘under God’ can no more be expunged from the national consciousness than the words ‘In God We Trust’ from every coin in the land, than the words ‘so help me God’ from every presidential oath since 1789, or than the prayer that has opened every congressional session of legislative business since 1787.” wikipedia
I believe the other objection of the left and its atheist constituents, and their mozlim members for that matter, to the Pledge is acknowledging that this nation is a Republic; otherwise it is difficult to justify half the country in harness pulling the other half riding in the wagon.
As judge Bauman points out above, there is a disturbing logical contradiction where a plaintiff can use the Constitution to undermine the Constitution.
I think we will see a push by such groups to continue this line of attack on religious freedom if Her Heinous manages to steal the election in a couple months.
I’m certainly not going to stop anybody from reciting the PoA. But noting that a Christian socialist wrote the pledge, when you actually stop and consider some of the wording of the pledge, you will question if it is actually pro-big federal government, anti-state sovereignty propaganda.
More specifically, contrary to the terms “one Nation” and “indivisible,” Thomas Jefferson had written that foreign nations should regard the United States as one nation while the states were to regard themselves as individual nations.
"The true theory of our Constitution is surely the wisest and best, that the States are independent as to everything within themselves, and united as to everything respecting foreign nations." --Thomas Jefferson to Gideon Granger, 1800.
Given the passion for the pledge that patriots instill in their children, it’s no surprise that states are now nothing more than neighborhoods in the USA, the states unthinkingly bowing down to the federal government which they established, forgetting that Founding States had drafted the federal Constitution to deliberatly limit (cripple) its powers.
“...and to the Republic for which it stood.”
Send the forms home; collect the names of those who want their children excused; deport those who are not natural born citizens. Do you mean this wasn’t the intent?
