The founders never said the Pledge.
In fact, it was written by a Socialist.
student escorted out of class for not saying the pledge
While his display of a lack of respect for flag and his country disgusts me I respect his rights under the 1st Amendment. He was in keeping with current school policy and therefore should have been left alone.

what does the pledge have to do with loving a free country?
Does it matter? The child was too young to take an ideological stand, and most likely was coerced into it by the parents (which has been the case in most of these stories). But it seems the law is clear. Not pledging allegiance simply because one is too lazy or hungover is now a constitutional right. Thank the ACLU.
Will profanity in the classroom become "protected speech" in the near future? I'm sure there's lawyers working on it now as we speak.
Most likely but wouldn't that be a twist if an illegal alien child refused to pledge (while being provided a free and guaranteed public education?
I think the ACLU and the Supreme Court needs to stay out of simple school rule enforcement. If a school in a military town wants their children to stand, they should be able to say so. And if an America hating community wants to give it up completely, so be it. This "students' rights" to "expression" in all its vulgarity has got to stop. Save it for the interwebs haters.
And del, you know as well as I, that we never learn the whole story when children are involved. The school cannot divulge what really went down. In this case they were clearly wrong to get the cops involved, but the "taunting" may have been self inflicted.
Sadly, our president never recites the pledge, nor places a hand over his heart. He clasps his hands in front of his privates, which is becoming known as his "crotch salute."
Having children stand up and recite a "pledge of allegiance" every school day is ridiculous to begin with. People can decide for themselves where their loyalties lie when they're adults.
If people didn't oppose traditions, they'd never change.
Christmas is a tradition....you on the left have successfully set the foundation for it's destruction....I guess this is what you all call change....great job!!!!

Yes... do your level BEST to make the Pledge of Allegiance sound BAAAAAAAAAAD.... it will make you look SOOOOOOO smart in the eyes of your America hating brothers and sisters... pfft...
Why do ALL you fucking liberal shit stains HATE America and it's traditions so much? WHY?! What is your PROBLEM?!
Respect for freedom of speech? WTF does that mean? Children do not have unlimited speech rights at school. Should they be permitted to say "Fuck the flag? Blow me?"
Soldiers have sacrificed their lives for that symbol. They deserve as much respect as Johnny Stoner.
Yes Ravi it is offensive. When 25 decent kids are standing and one asshole is allowed to sit, it is wrong.Its just another example of rewarding bad behavior. That's far more damaging than making one asshole stand for 30 seconds.I don't care if they say it, just get the hell up.

You're right and the school handled it badly. But pledging "allegiance" to ones country, is one of the responsibilities of citizenship. That flag symbolizes one's right to be a lazy asshole. With "rights" come responsibilities. People often forget that part.
LEGAL immigrants get it.
And those lazy assholes will get thrown out of a ballpark or concert venue if they don't stand in an arena in NJ. Schools are supposed to prepare kids for real life.
What you say is very true...however...at this point in time we see the result of years of dumbing down America, years of the destruction of the family unit, years of eroding dicipline in the home by parents who don't care about their kids and the stupid ass liberal shit shown on TV 24/7. Parents sign their kids over to Teletubbie and Barney videos hoping they'll relieve them of their responsibility to raise them...this they call "progress".
It's pathetic yet under our Constitution they have the right to disrespect their country, piss on our flag and what it stands for. The founding fathers would be pleased indeed....
Took the words right out of my mouth.
I'm only 54 years old, and all through my younger years in school we stood and cited the pledge. Funny thing is, I felt PROUD to pledge my allegiance to the flag. That was MY flag, my COUNTRY'S flag, and I saw no reason at all NOT to pledge my allegiance. I think if you feel as though you don't have to say it, or your REFUSE to say it, then people have every right to question just where the hell your allegiance DOES lie. Maybe you'd be more comfortable getting your ass OUT OF AMERICA if you HATE our traditions and PLEDGES so.
I have no use for you people that take such great pleasure in PISSING on America and it's traditions and customs. You are the filth of our land, and I'd just as soon spit in your face as have to look or listen to you.
Traditions change and evolve. Eventually "change" becomes "tradition". And it's not always bad. Arguing that tradition should be preserved for the sake of tradition is as foolish as arguing change for the sake of change.

Yeah, and I HATE turkey, m'k, so can we get-the-fuck-over having it for Thanksgiving?
