California Teacher removes American flag and has students pledge to homosexuality flag.

You're not them, nor are you in charge of making their school's policy regarding respect for the flag and giving the children the choice to say or not to say the pledge. Let's suppose you had a child in said school, what would you have your child do?

Leave it solely to the child, or instruct them to stand for the flag and remain silence?

Isn't it wonderful that parents and their children maintain legitimate choice?

Another stupid post.

Elementary school kids don't get a choice when it comes to their teacher, what subjects they're taught, when they have lunch...

Don't waste their time making them memorize and recite a dumb pledge.

Why is it strange? Stranger that the teacher took the American flag out of her room. Kids don't have to pledge allegiance but here's a quote from the O/P that explains this particular school's policy regarding the flag.

"We are aware of this incident and are investigating. While we do not discuss employee related matters, we can tell you that showing respect and honor for our nation’s flag is a value that we instill in our students and an expectation of our employees. We take matters like this seriously and will be taking action to address it," public relations officer for the district, Annette Franco"

Logo worship is a particularly sick human behavior.

Stop writing them then...
The above second and third line of your post doesn't address anything I've written and your first line is hyperbole.

I was raised JW. Told off the elders and walked away never to return when I was ten or so.

But I agree with the pledge and anthem thing. I participate in neither.

I get funny and even hostile looks, but whatever.

I'm with William Tell on the subject.

So don't worship a logo.
No school administrator in the aforementioned school of the O/O demands their students "worship a logo".

California teacher boasts not having American flag, tells students to pledge allegiance to gay pride flag

A California school district is investigating a teacher after she posted a video admitting that she encouraged her students to pledge allegiance to a gay pride flag after she removed the American flag from her classroom.
www.yahoo.com www.yahoo.com

Why does this teacher even care if her students worship gays or not? Sorta an odd ritual to go through even though she suggested it as voluntary while removing the traditional flag.

I suspect some social media trolling here, folks.

Have you checked to make sure that gay people haven't done something new since you posted this thread? I'd hate to distract you.

Right, so you are ok with this adult picking on kids. As she giggles about it.

By fixating on this, I think that it's possible that you're missing out on new gay stories.

Another "I hate gay people" thread by dirtpoorchris, eh?

And as usual, it isn't what he claims. Teacher had removed flag from classroom during Pandemic. Now they're back. They do the pledge over the PA. But true to the 1st, nobody has to stand or pledge. Kid asks where to look during the pledge, teachers says "we do have a flag", kid points at pride flag. Whoopdee do.



Leave it to chris to try to change that to "worship gays".

Agreed, school districts around here stopped it years ago when i was still in school and i graduated in the 90s
I think kids should certainly know the pledge but they most certainly shouldnt be forced to pledge every moring.

A flag is a ****ing logo. Originally so you could retreat to your side in a battle.

They are symbols, sometimes idols.

But they're logos. Accomapnied by the same crap as football Jerseys.

The only difference is scale. I've never said the pledge nor sung the anthem. Country has a long way to go before I would entertain either.
 
Excerpt from Peter S. Beagles introduction to Tolkien's The Hobbit... (1973)


We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discovers – thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams.
