It’s up to the older folks to teach this stuff.
We have the pledge here in Texas along with the Texas pledge.
Kids mostly half heartedly do it.
I was in and inner-city school where the principal made a real production out of it, music lead in and everything. I was shocked because it’s a 90% black student population and staff.
I’m a retired urban public high school teacher. We started every day with the Pledge of Allegiance.
Well, one day a smarmy white kid decided not to stand. I tried to reason with him. All I got back was sass. So I reported him to the principal. That principal was a rarity in city schools, a tough old army veteran who took no nonsense.
Sorry, he told me. The school board has already decided that standing for the Pledge was optional. Just another stupid decision on their part. Then they wonder why their schools are a mess.
I’m doing exactly that. Teaching Him about the real World.
His Mama is going to forget about the President Donald J. Trump stuff when I begin teaching Him about Firearm Safety and then start teaching Him shooting with a Pellet Rifle. He will be getting the Ruger 10/22 Rifle that I never had for His Birthday in a few years.
I wasn’t aware of the Texas Pledge and I went to school in Texas from 3rd grade and until I got My DL and dropped out of high school at the end of My Sophomore year and moved from Houston to Austin and went to work full time.
Kids could care less whatever it is unless it on or attached to their Smartphone.
