PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE (Kahn) Mandates public school students to recite the "Pledge of Allegiance"
This bill would require all public schools to REQUIRE (presumably under the threat of disciplinary action) each student in said school to say the pledge of allegiance each day.
If this passes and my step-son decides not to say the pledge AND gets in trouble for it, I've got his back.
How appalling! I thought this was settled case law as being against the first amendment! It violates the First Ammendment which is brought upon the States via the 14th.
I, for one (popular or not) do not always say the pledge, because I will not pledge my support to the current (nor under GW Bush) regime.
I should add: I'm not opposed to requiring the school teachers to lead (or attempt to lead) the class in the pledge of allegiance. I AM against punishing lil Jimmy because he chose not to participate.
