Good for you. There is an immense opportunity here to teach children about the real meaning of liberty, the words "the republic for which it stands", and good old drawing a line in the sand.
There is a good chance that those that walk out, or are held back by parents will be questioned in a "respectful" way in front of classes by liberal educators. Please prepare your kids for this. Something along the lines of "I understand that the President wanted us to make a pledge to him when he is the one who should be making pledges to us, the people for whom he works" should serve well.
Those you might walk out should have a copy of the version where they were going to have to write a letter about how they would help Obama ..or at least that is what the Dept. of Ed. suggested.
Is a good day for my kids to be in school. I imagine it will be some U.S.A flag T-shirts and a pocket Constitution for them. I’m guessing an Obama/Joker “Why so Socialist?” T-shirt might be “distracting to other students” or whatever it says in the dress code.
A teacher last year was concerned about my conservative 11-year old daughter getting picked on by the 92% of the kids in class that are liberals. Not to worry we told him. Her end of the year project was a poster-board debunking manmade global warming.
