Let them leave the room, then
In fact, let them leave period
What are they-the ones whose parents voted for McCain?
s-a-r-c?
Good Bye, America. We hardly knew ye.
The Supreme Court decision required schools to allow students to “opt out” of reciting the Pledge.
It did NOT allow schools to require students to “opt in”.
What this school is doing is unconstitutional. Where is the ACLU when you need them, eh?
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
I am sick of these atheist leftist loons the first amendment does not give them the right to prevent others from speaking
No. Make me. I will sue.
...don’t say it, wear on a t-shirt!
When my daughter was 3, we had to stop at every US flag while she saluted and recited the Pledge...
Her daughter, 5, loves the flag and loves visiting the “City of Flags”, (Washington’s Monument, etc in DC)
Drop all federal funding from that district immediately.

its a Vermont thing.
They should join Quebec, then when Quebec becomes part of France, the Vermonteers will be where they need to be. Then the can all sing La Marseillaise before class starts...
Ain’t that sumptin’? Years ago:
If you didn’t want to recite the Pledge of Allegiance or sing the national anthem, you were disciplined and people thought you were strange.
You could go into a drug store and say, “Give me a pack of Marlboros,” and whisper softly, “Where’s your condoms?”
Nowadays, you shout “Give me a pack of condoms,” and whisper softly, “Where’s your cigarettes?”
Yep, and with our new fearless leader who won’t sing our anthem or wear a U.S. flag pin, we’re all in trouble.
The rights of the few outweigh the rights of the many?
Boycott the bear.
I scoffed when I heard about the upcoming so-called “balkanization” of the Unites States. Now I am not so sure.
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.
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?
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.
