So much for the idea of local control of the local school system. I wonder how many freepers would welcome a deluge of letters from all over the country complaining about something that they had decided to do locally?

If Madson and Berkely residents complained about our local high school having rifle teams, Bible (as literature) classes, prayer groups, or patriotic themes I'm sure that I'd be of the mind to tell the outsiders to stuff it. Local control; what people want for themselves but don't want others to exercise.

As a Badger State resident and a person who grew up gladly reciting the Pledge daily, I have to ask what is wrong with teaching American children to love their country? Not one of my fellow students ever objected to reciting it. What should they pledge allegiance to in your estimation?

Excuse me but the last I knew, all school districts receive federal funds (my hard earned tax dollars) so I believe we all have a right to give input if they want to be un-American!!!
