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.

My public elementary school, run by a bunch of conservative Protestant teachers, often told us how the Russians brainwashed their children. Then, with no thought of the irony, they had us say the pledge of allegiance and sing patriotic songs each morning, then pray before lunch. Gideons passed out New Testaments in class a time or two as well. They pretty much ignored all the Supreme Court decisions on religion in public schools.
Their brainwashing tactics didn’t work on me. If anything, they had the opposite of the intended effect.
So if you want to snatch kids up and make them say a pledge to a flag, don’t be surprised if it doesn’t work out like you hoped.
