re: Would you be bothered if you learned your son/daughter didn't stand for the pledge?

Has nothing to do with veterans. In fact, they might as well bring back the Bellamy Salute.
ETA: Also, none of the founding fathers would have agreed to a pledge of allegiance to a flag. These are the same men that risked execution by the British for treason. Again, don't be brain washed into thinking it's some payment of respect to veterans or anyone who risked their lives for this country. It's quite the opposite.

I’m a teacher also. It bothers me more who doesn’t stand. If someone stays seated, 9/10 times they’re either a minority or some white kid with purple hair with a one syllable non gender specific name and they no longer go by their dead name. These kids are so brain dead and ill informed. They’ve been made to believe that their country hates them.

It wouldn't bother me but I'd be very disappointed that they didn't stand for the pledge of allegiance.

My children will always be standing for the pledge. It is part of the respect and common decency they were taught.

No. I’ve told my kids that they shouldn’t pledge allegiance to any state or government. I’ve told them to just stand up and go through the motions so as not to create a ruckus, but also that pledging their allegiance to a government that will send them to war for profit, inflate their money to pay for those wars, and jail them for not paying taxes is not a good idea.
My kids will also tell you that taxation is theft and they call the federal reserve the creature from Jekyll Island.

As a teacher and a combat veteran, I understand that freedom for me means freedom for thee.

I love all of the Trumpers getting pissy about a pledge that was created by a SOCIALIST to promote fealty to the government.

Yes.
To me, a kid showing a lack of respect and appreciation for being born American as opposed to someplace where cannibalism is still a thing is a very bad look.
Wise up, you little shits. You won life's lottery and are too ignorant to grasp it.

Yes. They (daughter and stepdaughter) would immediately be removed from our will.
Posted on 4/25/24 at 2:20 pm to SwampyWaters
I would want to know. I’d want to know what was going thru their head. I would explain that we still vote, we can have a voice in government
Although we are falling further away from ideal it beats the shite outta what we declared independence from.

West Virginia v Barnette is the first thing I teach my students.

At the high school where I work, they always say “Please stand for the dress code check and the pledge.” I can’t force them to stand for the pledge, but I can make them stand for the dress code check … during the pledge. I’ve never had a problem.

Considering I burned an American flag at my high school during a presentation in speech class, no
That would be somewhat hypocritical of me

I would want to know--not to force them to stand or take part but to impress upon my minor idiot the reasons they should show respect by doing so.

You know there is and I know you're grading their papers harder than the students that stand.

I have six kids. If anyone of them sat they would be taken out of my will
Posted on 4/26/24 at 5:17 pm to SwampyWaters
Of COURSE I'd be bothered.
God Bless America!

Yes, I would be very bothered.

Yes It would bother me.

As a teacher and a son of a veteran, it absolutely infuriates me every morning when these 13-14-15 - year old students refuse to stand for the pledge and there's not a thing I can do about it.
Frankly, I would not teach in a school, nor send my kids to this school, where this is a regular occurrence.
You need to reevaluate your job/town and get the frick out. Mold the minds and lives of kids who are in a school where this is required - like a private, Christian school. Schools where 13-15 year old kids don't stand for the pledge are shite and should be beneath you.
