It seems that the Commies in Vermont dont want to embarrass kids who dont want to say the Pledge, so they make the ones who do, leave the room.

Boycott the bear.
I scoffed when I heard about the upcoming so-called “balkanization” of the Unites States. Now I am not so sure.
Sadly,I could see this country dividing like India and
Pakistan along red and blue lines.
NO NO NO,,, the way to stop these assaults it to fight back.
Some brave child, with the full backing of their parents, needs to stand up IN CLASS and start to say the pledge, with as many friends as will join them.
Parents need to be visible across the street to intervene when the school turns on the kids.
People need to organize against the school board members.
We need to start the counter-revolution against the leftists. For too long we have headed to the gym as ordered. Time to refuse and to do it our way, just like them.

~Thank you for that. You are very fortunate.
A lot of this stuff is a lost cause in places like Vermont. They elect an admitted Socialist to the U.S. Senate. You could go to one of these towns and literally never meet a person that you considered logical, rational, or patriotic. I was raised next door in Massachusetts (having since escaped to Virginia) and believe me, sometimes it is like living in a foreign country.
Did an NCO, or Officer write them up for "conduct unbecoming a member of the Armed Forces"? At the very least, an NCO should have hauled them outside, locked them to attention, and read them the riot act.
“How funny. Where will they go”?
...they can step outside into the 20 degree weather with the smokers.
I wonder if that will work in Texas........(or are they already doing that now?)
The John Birch Society used to have this saying, “A Republic, NOT a democracy.” I used to think it was a silly point, but now I get it...Now that it’s too late. Welcome to the United Socialist States of America, the USSA.
I'm not sure exactly what is the goal. For those who truly have “allegiance” to their country is it to let everyone else know in a very public way? Is it to identify those that don't so they can be harassed?
Forcing/pressuring someone to do this in public who may be uncomfortable or doesn't understand will only lead to enmity, bitterness and possibly reprisal. Love, or allegiance, to country will be proved in someones actions, not in chanting phrases in public.
It reminds me of what Jesus said about charity in that it should be done in private. Those that do so publicly are interested in something far less noble than helping those in need. My question is what is the interest of people who insist on public displays of patriotism?
I know you’re right,,, and the NO NO No wasnt aimed at you,, but at the people who force this.
I know we can’t change them philosophically. All we can do is have carefully planned guerilla attacks that are calculated to extract the maximum in embarrassment from them, then hide back inside our spider holes.
We need to carefully plan and do things that force them into the role of publicly bullying people innocently exercising their rights. And like them,, someone needs to shoot video of the oppression. Let them see you do it. They need to face the bullying they have dished out unanswered for 20 years.
Now that i think of it,, FR was a pioneer in this.
And i agree with you,,
my reason for spupporting it has more to do with the fact that the school is making it’s anti-americanism a point of pride.
I read about Pappy Boyington almost getting in a fight in 1941 at a football game because he didnt know one of the rituals such as standing or something, surrounding the playing of “America the Beautiful”.
He had been in China with the flying tigers when the song became popular.
“my reason for spupporting it has more to do with the fact that the school is making its anti-americanism a point of pride.’
I didn’t get that from the story. Can you show me where they we’re anti-American and how it was a point of pride?
I like that.
This is a national disgrace. I’m appalled that these “educators” don’t believe that young people don’t owe any allegiance to their country.
HA good tagline!
