Students are required to learn a lot of stuff in school they don't necessarily like. In your view, the Pledge should be exception to that requirement. Why? Its not like patriotism is a form of religion you can practice in private. Either you love your country or you can leave it. Quite personally, I'd be happy as a clam if every liberal packed their bags and moved to Canada. This country the way it is, is for some reason, just never quite good enough for them. I mean what Americans feel and think and believe doesn't measure up to their exacting standards.

I'm afraid you have misinterpreted my view. I didn't say the kids should not learn the pledge. I said the kids and the teachers should not be compelled by the state of Colorado to make a pledge.

It's not like patriotism is a religion the state can compel it's citizens to accept either. Although you and I may agree that love of country is good, we don't have the authority to make our next door neighbor think in those terms.
