The Pledge of Allegiance

chrystalia @chrystalia (1208) • Tucson, Arizona 7 Dec 12

Apparently, they still read the Pledge of Allegiance at public schools in the morning. This is a good thing. Of course, the Supreme Court ruled back in the 1940's--1943 to be exact--that no one can be forced to stand up for it, or...

God Out Of Schools?

mrsellis @mrsellis (29) • United States 9 Dec 09

I'm not sure I understand the concept, except for the fact that someone might be offended that schools are including God in our children's education. Is that all it takes? If that's the case, then I'm offended that this valuable...

Removing religions from public, goverment, and traditional things ok or not?

kjess77 @kjess77 (40) • United States 20 Nov 09

Most of us have heard about people who try to remove the "Under God" part of the Pledge of Allegiance, or of the "holiday trees" instead of Christmas trees at schools these days. In many schools children are not allowed to pray...

Obviously this is meant more for American citizens but if you are thinking of immigrating here you might be interested. Just had a long discussion about this on another forum. Should the words "under God" be removed from the...

Vermont School Bans Pledge of Allegiance in the class room

lilwonders @lilwonders456 (8214) • United States 19 Nov 08

Yep you heard me right. If the children want to say the pledge of allegiance they must leave the classroom and go to the gym. As you can imagine it is all over the "God" word. The school says that children should not be forced to...

Do you know the words to the Pledge of Allegiance?

Yestheypayme2dothis @Yestheypayme2dothis (7874) • United States 30 Mar 07

Do you know the words to the Pledge of Allegiance? I mean without looking it up. Some classes no longer say the Pledge of Allegiance. Should we stop it altogether?

Do you think it's right to stop the pledge of allegiance in our schools? I think if it's against someone's religion then they have the right to sit it out. But what about the one's who believe in the pledge what happen to our...
