Was talking to My Grandson Yesterday asking him if They started the day with the Class reciting the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America. I was pleased with the answer being Yes. I dug this out of the dusty sector of the youtube archives to play for Him when He gets Home Today.
I have had Him Stand and render the Civilian Salute at the start of the TV coverage of the NASCAR Races and if He's not in the room when it starts and if He hears it being Sung or the Music of it being played He will come running into the room He stands up and puts His hand over His Heart.
Even though His Mama is a commie I refuse to let Her fill His mind with that crap. I started last year telling Him about President Donald J. Trump and one day I heard Him say President Donald J. Trump to Her !!! I thought that she was going to burst into flames !!! (I enjoy cheap entertainment sometimes.🤪🇺🇸)
Anyway I thought it would be a good thing to do Today when He gets home from school to watch Red Skeleton explain the meaning of the words.
FYI

His Mama is a commie .................
You should try to convert her.
She will ruin him.
Guaranteed..................
I saw that when it was originally broadcast.................
A bit off-topic, but my favorite Red Skeleton story. Red talking:
I was at a baseball game, and someone yelled out, “Red Skeleton is here!” Everyone turned and looked at me. Many people even applauded.
I was embarrassed by all the attention. Maybe I shouldn’t have yelled that out.
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.
“Even though His Mama is a commie” Hopefully he has a sensible father in the picture that has not been alienated out of the family by Mama.
Otherwise, it’s only a matter of time before Mama will have him wearing dresses.
He wasn’t a skeleton. Red Skelton.
Hail Hydra
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.
When I first read the headline I was wondering what a Red Skeleton had to do with the Pledge of Allegiance.
I’ve been trying to for 11 years to no avail. She starts screaming too loudly and blocks it out and the more I try to calm her down to listen the louder she gets and then her Mother comes in and splits us up.
As long as I am alive she will not !!! The Little Man is Papa’s best Buddy. He spends most of His time with Me.🤠 I don’t yell at Him when He’s in trouble, I talk to and explain to Him why He’s in trouble and how to avoid it again and that He needs to apologize. (BTW He’s ADD. He usually gets in trouble for hitting someone at school.)
Spell check is a PITA. :-)
Cool✅🇺🇸
LOL !!!
Blood or paint ?
If for no other reason the kids should stand to show appreciation for (1) living in this relatively free and prosperous country and (2) having the taxpayers pay for their education. If they don’t want to cite the pledge they should at least show a modicum of respect by getting out of their seat and standing up to show respect. Its not too much to ask.
