The operative word in that sentence was “Forced.”
And yes, I am opposed to forcing students to recite a pledge to their country all while we want to teach them about all the freedoms we have in the USA.
And yet, our children are “forced” to see, say, and learn things everyday.
It was always an honor to be an American, now people are “forced”?
By saying the pledge, you honor every man,woman and child who died to make our Country great.
