Back in the day of my elementary school years, we participated in the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. Some students were not required to participate because of family religious reasons, but there was no big deal made about their personal decisions. All of my personal friends participated and I do not recall any students in my classes not participating; however, that was many years ago and a different time, location, and generation.
There is a campaign to issue a warning before the Pledge of Allegiance. Is this any different from giving students the religious option of choosing not to participate in saying the pledge? America is “one nation under God.” Our historic American leaders consulted God in many decisions. Do you say the pledge, do your kids say it at school?
