I’m beginning to feel extreme disdain for a large swath of this country more and more daily.

Great. So you agree with me.

Quite right. I love America and America alone.

Typical bespectacled, "I'm enlightened and you're not" liberal.
Why do those always end up in education circles.

I meant, since he was making the same point, that we agree.

My question is: when this new pledge ( ’“school family, community, country and our global society”) is created and communicated to the schools, what happens if little Steven James decides he wants to take a knee because it doesn’t reflect his personal beliefs or values ? Or he would prefer to pledge his allegiance his country?

No idea. Probably nothing. I doubt a new pledge ever gets agreed upon to be honest.
