Nonsense. Every child who's parents cannot afford to send them to non-government schools, but must send them somewhere at the point of a gun is forced to say the pledge. Little children cannot opt out due to pressure from teachers and other children. Grow up.
Public schools are the essence of the public square,

were supported by Jefferson and Madison and are not subject to tyranny by a minority.
Compulsary schooling was never supported by Jefferson or Madison.
You're cause and the cause of the leftist minority will take a big kick in the ass today.
My cause? What might that be? Try to avoid speculating.
Remember all those Christians who stayed home last election? Well guess what, they won't be staying home in November.
I'm a Christian and I didn't stay home. I won't be staying home this time either.
There has to be a pony in that statement.
In kindergarten I was asked by the teacher to do something that was against the teachings of my church. I told her that I couldn't and explained why in my 5-year-old way. Something along the lines of "My Sunday school teacher said I shouldn't."
My parents taught me that I could always opt out of anything that went against what I knew to be right. If the teacher did not agree I was to ask for her to call my parents.
This child could be taught the same thing. Instead she is being taught that if she does not want to do something she not only does not have to do it but she can prevent every one else from doing it too by force.

Only in your deluded mind. Most parents willingly send their children to public schools and the best of those parents teach their children to stand up for what they beieve in. Mine did for me, I did for my kids and my kids will do the same for my grandkids.
Compulsary schooling is immoral.
Blah, blah, blah, same sh4t different day. I repeat public schools are the public square. Care to address that point?
Compulsary schooling was never supported by Jefferson or Madison.
Same strawman, different day. Your namesake was a strident supporter of public education. I suggest you change your nome de guerre. Perhaps you might even use your own name. It is after all, a free country.:-}
My cause? What might that be? Try to avoid speculating.
Compulsory eduation. LOL The debate is centered on a Federal Court telling public school districts that they are forbidden to use the word God in reciting the pledge. Compulsory education is your strawdog. I'm a Christian and I didn't stay home. I won't be staying home this time either.
Harry Brown will be glad to hear it, as for me I could care less.
