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

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

I totally agree and it's downright sickening. The sad part is we have veered so far off course from what this country was founded on that I don't know if it's possible to get this country back on track.

All you have to do is watch the evening news to see all these young kids killing each other, but that's going to happen when you teach them they don't have to respect the flag, country or each other. These kids today have been brainwashed into thinking that it's a free country, so they can say or do whatever they want, anytime they want to do it, and there's nothing anyone can do about it.

30+ years ago, our country was such a better place to live in because all children were all taught to love and respect each other. All parents made sure their child stood for the pledge and showed the flag the respect it deserved.

As a son, father and grandfather, I take solace in knowing that no one in my immediate or extended family has ever sat for the pledge and never will.
