Good point. Western civilization is built upon a Christian world view. Crushing that foundation can’t portend a good end.
If you think that is assault, you need to go back to the DU where you belong.
Well - not respecting the flag and the nation is definitely an INaction.
However, if you can gather yourself and calmly go back and re-read my post 27 you will see that I did not say I advocate forcing or demanding students to stand for the Oath of Allegiance.

That's how some kids end up cracking skulls with bicycle locks, shooting up schools and mowing down crowds with rental trucks.

But we must try.
You are correct, it will be completely PC and those things will happen.
DOESN’T MAKE THEM EITHER RIGHT, MORAL, OR HONORABLE.
Let the courts sort it out.
Read all his/her replies. Definitely a troll.
She wasn’t a Mormon if she wouldn’t stand for the pledge.
Mormons are one of the largest groups in the Boy scouts.
