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

Hell yes I would want to know. Other people’s kids can do what they want/ what their parents want; that’s not my cross to carry. I feel bad for the OP.

Seriously, some of y’all are downright embarrassing. I can’t stand a lot of what is happening in our country, and it makes me sick to my stomach to see. With that said there is no way I am giving up on my country, my morals, or my beliefs. Throwing up your hands and just saying ’frick it’ is not an option for success. Just because things are not what we/I want doesn’t mean you give up. WTF kind of example are you setting for your kids when you do that?

I agree with you 100 percent and thank you for your service. TBH, I was shocked and dismayed at all of the negative things that were said about the pledge. I guess I'm old school because my children always stood for the pledge, period! Both of my children are married now, but if they ever decided to sit during pledge in my presence, they wouldn't be sitting for long, and that also goes for my grandchildren.

I respect differing opinions, but some of you have some really radical responses. To say the students have a right to make their own decision, is assine. Middle school kids are too immature to form any type of reasonable opinion on anything.
