She shouldn't make her child fight her battles. If she had a problem with her child's teacher or the curriculum , she should have talked to the man, not told her child it was ok to disobey him.
You don't send your child to fight your battles.
I would have assumed that this wouldn't be a big deal, actually. Who would expect the crazy teacher would call the cops? That is beyond the pale.
Then say it is National Socialist.
Socialism does not reject nations.
Yes, it does.

. My mother would have been pissed if I had refused to do something the teacher told me to do.
I can't imagine a teacher calling the cops about this. There may be more to the story. My mother would have been pissed if I had refused to do something the teacher told me to do.
So someone NOT saying the Pledge of Allegiance causes you to think that the person must have a negative opinion on being an American?
The ignorance in this thread is astonishing.
Tucker Case said:Even Marx argued that a socialist state was a precursor to communism.
That's another thing: why didn't the police roll their eyes at her and arrest her for wasting their resources? Why did the police actually follow through with her lunacy?
Children don't have enough maturity to decide whether or not they want to pledge allegiance to a country, or which country. Without that maturity their pledge is coerced. A pledge isn't a real pledge if it's coerced.Children should because children are citizens.
They need to be taught that having the freedom to refuse to say the pledge is better than having explosives strapped to them in the name of Alah.
The very fact that this student has the protected right not to say the pledge if she doesn't want to is by itself reason enough for her to do it.
The determination of if a child should say the Pledge, or any other optional thing of that sort, should be made by the parent, in most cases.Children don't have enough maturity to decide whether or not they want to pledge allegiance to a country, or which country. Without that maturity their pledge is coerced. A pledge isn't a real pledge if it's coerced.
That's true but we can also have opinions about what parents should and shouldn't teach their kids. Just because someone feels that it's wrong for parents to hit their kids, that doesn't necessarily mean that they want to take that right away from parents.The determination of if a child should say the Pledge, or any other optional thing of that sort, should be made by the parent, in most cases.
Absolutely ridiculous act on the part of the teacher, completely in contrary with school policies.
Granted, I've never seen anyone personally sit for the pledge that wasn't doing it just casue they're a lazy **** or they think it was funny more so than because they were "Rebelling against america man!". Still, no one has to say the pledge in school. Its not required. And calling the cops on them is ridiculous.
I read this story yesterday in the Post.
I hope rivrrat comes into this thread because she's the first person who made me think, "Why do I do the pledge of allegience?" At this point, if asked to do it in a classroom setting, I wouldn't do it. I think it's stupid (which has nothing to do with my patriotism).
Kids have been doing the Pledge for probably 200 years without a problem......
I agree it was amd over reaction to call the cops but it is sad to me when I see something like this happen........I guess the next thing will be a bunch of left wingers throwing the bird or the middle finger at the flag when the national anthem is playing........Like American said this kind of thing was unheard of when I was growing up...
How far we go to push PC.............
I remember when my whole first grade class got paddled for something. :lol:
Why do you hate freedom?

What is ironic is I actually served to give you the right to make a stupid statement like that........
