Red Skeleton details the Pledge of Allegiance (Had a discussion with the Grandson and if they do it at School)
My little pea brain ^ | Self/RedSkelton

Posted on 12/13/2024 6:18:14 AM PST by mabarker1

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.

You left a little bit out of your story. As least I think you did. Why did the crowd react to you as if you were Red Skelton, did you look like him?
Or was it just a friend joking around and saying anything that would make people turn around and look?

In a public high school school in California we sang “The Lord’s Prayer” in every chorus concert. Those were the days . . .

Not good. BLM does the same thing but to a different flag. It subordinates the plebes amongst us to the few who don’t always work in our interests.

Think kamikaze pilots. Then there’s all the money Kamala squandered of folks(billionaires) who would do it again. These billionaires are plebes too.

Sorry, I suppose I wasn’t clear enough. That event (post #8) never actually happened. It was just a joke that Red told on his show.

Now here’s the interesting thing. I vividly remember him telling that joke from many decades ago. But I don’t have a clue where I put my car keys from yesterday.

🤔

> If for no other reason the kids should stand to show appreciation… <

My argument to that punk kid was that he should stand as a sign of respect to those who died to defend our country. All I got back was a smirk.

By the way, some court somewhere had ruled that students could not be forced to recite the Pledge, as that was a free speech violation. However, it was okay to require them to stand.

It was our weak and pathetic school board that removed the requirement to stand.

This was in a 100% Democrat-controlled city. So that really shouldn’t have been a surprise to me.

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.

The sperm donor is not even in the distant past/present or future. Woman beater, in jailbird. I came within a few seconds of shooting the POS years ago.

As far as Males go He’s got Papa and 2 Uncles, 1 lives nearby Us and works for Spectrum and the other is in Northern Pennsylvania and is a Game Warden. There’s also a Male Cousin 19 years old and a Female Cousin who Deer Hunts with Archery and Rifle, both in Northern Pennsylvania also. But He spends most of His time with Papa.

Him wearing dresses WILL NEVER HAPPEN as long as I am alive !!!
