at the risk of being flamed...
mandatory reciting of a pledge or oath means nothing.
make the country worth living in and the oathes of allegiance will come.
as a man of principles, and of my word, shouldn’t i only have to say a pledge once.
educate not indoctrinate, that goes both ways.

I have contacted my Brothers at the Arlington Knights of Columbus to see if this young man’s effort can be honored.
Not to flame you but I don’t care what you think. You learn to get along or get out. Most folks have figured out by the time they are adults how to respect the rights of others, or they’ve gone totally criminal and we’ve locked ‘em up to contemplate their futures.
You’re the only one talking about mandatory.
Even the student is smarter than you.
As I see it, the Pledge is a way of coming together and stating that we love our country and believe in it. I believe those who refuse to say the Pledge hate America.
I will not recite the pledge until the oozing carbuncle known as Barack Obama/Barry Soetoro is removed by impeachment or resignation or election from the White House.
Now, if someone comes up with a Pledge to the U.S. Constitution, I’ll gladly recite that every day
“at the risk of being flamed...

I agree.
